Images of the Emaciated Buddha are unusual in Thai tradition, but depict Prince Siddhartha in his ascetic period. Despite his father`s attempts to deny the existence of the sick, aged and suffering, Siddharta`s discovery of their struggles led him to a life of denial, where he allowed himself just one grain of rice a day in order to purify his body and rid himself of earthly temptations. After reaching near starvation, he realised that he should follow a middle path, exercising moderation away from the extremes of self-indulgence and self-mortification. Thereafter, aged 35, he reached Enlightenment to become Gautama Buddha.
