[1] Traditionally, Pra Jiads were kept in high or well revered places, as it was thought that if someone stepped over it, or dropped it, it would lose its mystical power.
Over time, this tradition evolved, incorporating intricate designs and colors that represent the fighter's lineage, skills, and personal beliefs.
As fighters perform the ritualistic dance of respect, known as Ram Muay, the Prajiad serves as a focal point for channeling positive energy and invoking the spirits of the art.
It is believed that the Prajiad acts as a conduit between the physical and spiritual realms, imbuing the wearer with strength, courage, and protection during combat.
During a Muay Thai bout, the Pra Jiad helps to provide stability and support to the fighter's limbs, enhancing their performance and minimizing the risk of injury.
