The Buddha stands upright and holds an alms bowl with both arms.

This posture is said to recall the first morning in Kapilavastu after visiting his father's palace.

Early in the morning the Buddha made his rounds through the city to receive food from his father's subjects,

although his own relatives had made all preparations to receive him at the Nigrodarama.

However, they had neglected to ask him the night before if he wanted to have breakfast with them.

Traditionally, this statue is associated with people born on a Wednesday morning.
