Buddhist Weekly Calendar with Animal Symbols and Directions #1781956 (License: Personal Use)

This circular diagram represents the Buddhist weekly calendar widely used in Thailand and parts of Southeast Asia, where each day is linked to a specific animal, direction, planetary symbol, and time of day. At the center sits a meditating Buddha within a lotus, symbolizing enlightenment and cosmic harmony. The outer ring lists days from Monday to Sunday, with associated icons such as the tiger (Monday), lion (Tuesday), dragon (Saturday), and mouse (Thursday).

Used in cultural, religious, and astrological contexts-especially in Thai temples, almanacs, and personal horoscopes-to guide auspicious timing, naming ceremonies, or daily rituals based on birth day symbolism.
