Right hand down with the fingers pointing downward and the palm facing the body (bhumisparsha mudra). This pose symbolizes the "touch of the earth." The pose refers to the moment the Buddha attained enlightenment and called upon the Earth as his witness. This pose also typifies the heavenly Buddha of the East, Akshobhaya.

Sukhothai originated in the 13th century and was the first Thai kingdom. Sukhothai is also the founder of the Thai alphabet and language. Sukhothai is located 430 km north of Bangkok. Sukhothai Buddhas are recognizable by the flame on their heads, which symbolizes the enlightenment they achieved (a sign of enlightenment) and is the most common Buddha image in Thai temples.
