Phra Rahu Holding Gold Ball – Thai Celestial Deity of Transformation & Fortune
Invoke the powerful, mysterious energy of Phra Rahu, one of the most respected celestial deities in Thai astrology and spiritual practice. This Thai-style Rahu statue, depicted holding a golden ball, represents his dominion over fate, cosmic cycles, and material fortune.
Rahu is often associated with eclipses, transformation, and karmic shifts. In this form, where he is shown grasping a gold ball—symbolizing the sun or moon—he is believed to exert control over light, energy, and prosperity. This symbolism also represents his power to “consume” obstacles and convert darkness into opportunity.
