Phra Lersi Buccha, Wat Bang Phra (Luang Phor Pern's Temple), Nakhon Pathom Province.
Phra Lersi are Indian hermits who are credited to be the founders and patron saints of various professions like doctors, religious tattooists, white magic practitioners, herbalists and many others.

There are a total of 108 sacred hermits who are recognised by name and many others who are not. Most often than not, all 108 of the hermits are represented by a generic image of a wisely old man wearing a conical hat and tiger skin robes but there are also specific images who represent specific Phra Lersi.

In Indian mythology, Phra Lersi received worldly knowledge from the gods and taught these knowledges to men. Thus, these Phra Lersi are also the masters of knowledge and are frequently worshipped by students and people in academic pursuits.

As Phra Lersi are also credited to be the founders of the Thai magical arts, they feature prominently on the altars of magical practitioners in Thailand and are invoked in rituals.

By praying with oneself the images of Phra Lersi at your house or shop, can be protected from all forms of black magic and evil spirits as well. Students are also recommended to pray for Phra Lersi image as he is able to aid one in studies and knowledgeable pursuits.
