Phra Rahu
| Worshippers offer Rahu eight black items, among them black chicken, black jelly, black liquor, black rice and black pudding. The symbol of Rahu was the number 8, a powerful figure believed to be the origin of all earthly things. To ward off bad luck associated with Rahu's attempts to devour the sun, believers make offerings of black objects. Rahu is said to swallow from time to time his two brothers, the moon and the sun, and throw them out again. It is the popular explanation for eclipses.  | |
