The gigantic soles of the Reclining Buddha’s feet are famous for being intricately inlaid with mother-of-pearl.

These decorations are not just artistic; they illustrate the 108 auspicious signs (laksanas) that distinguish a true Buddha from an ordinary human being.

Dhyana Mudra (Meditation): Hands resting in the lap, palms up, often with thumbs touching, signifying deep concentration.

# data[].attributes.body
The statue is commonly known as the "Calming the Ocean" (or Ham Samut) Buddha. It is a variation of the Abhaya Mudra (the gesture of fearlessness or protection) but specifically features both hands raised with palms facing outward.

The transcript describes the Bhumisparsha Mudra as a gesture to "subdue evil" because it refers to the legendary defeat of Mara, the personification of evil, temptation, and distraction in Buddhism.

More commonly known: Bhumisparsha Mudra (Earth Witness): The most common gesture in Thailand, where the right hand reaches down to touch the earth, symbolizing the moment the Buddha achieved enlightenment and summoned the earth goddess to witness his realisation.

Abhaya Mudra: Right hand raised, palm out, symbolizing fearlessness, peace, and protection (like the gesture after enlightenment).

The statue with only the right palm raised (and the left hand resting at the side or in the lap) is known as "Forbidding the Relatives to Fight" (Pang Ham Yat). While its traditional name sounds specific to a historical conflict, its broader meaning of peacemaking and reconciliation is why it is often associated with bringing peace to the home.
