The venerable Luang Phi Kaweerat created the amulet in a small series from holy ingredients.
The front shows Ganesha which is called in Thailand Phra Pikkaned, with a partial gilding of holy gold.
Ganesha which is also called Vinayaka, Ganapathi, and in Thailand Phra Pikkaned is the son of Shiva and Parvatis. Ganah comes from the Sanskrit and means "diversity" and Isha means lord, therefore, Ganesha is also called "lord of all beings".
Other names for Ganesha are Ekadanta (with the tusk), Vighneswara (destroyer of all obstacles), Varada (good giving) and Sidhhita (donor of success at any work).
Ganesha is revered as a protector and divinity of the arts and apprenticeships, particularly intellectuals and students revere Ganesha! His special strength and his infinite knowledge make him a special protection bringer and luck bringer for the wearer of the amulet!
With the Hindus he is one of the most honoured and mostly adored divinities. Also in Bangkok and other big towns one finds to honour of him established shrines which are visited daily by hundreds of believers, who present joss sticks, flowers and dishes to Ganesha as an offering and ask him for luck!
