What is a Phra Narai Song Khrut (พระนารายณ์ทรงครุฑ)?
Phra Narai (พระนารายณ์) is the Thai name for Vishnu, the Hindu god who preserves the order of the universe, revered by both the Thai monarchy and ordinary Thais. His mount is the Garuda (ครุฑ), which is also Thailand's national emblem and stands for authority and strength. The image of Narai riding the Garuda joins the two and is worn in Thailand for all-round protection and for breaking through obstacles.
