Legend tells that that the Emerald Buddha was created in Pataliputra- India- which is now the city of Patna in 43 BCE by Nagasena. Other great historians beleive that it belongs to the Chiang Saen Style of the 15th century. The legend says that- it remained in Pataliputra for 300 hundred years- until it was taken to Sri Lanka to save it from a civil war. It was then in 457- that King Anuruth of Burma sent out orders to Ceylon to ask for the Emerald Budha and Buddhist scriptures. These actions took place by the king- to try and support Buddhism in his country. This request was granted- however the ship that was brining the Buddha to Burma- became lost in a storm and ended up in Cambodia. The Buddha made it/' s way through several hands after that: Ayutthaya- Kamphaeng Phet- Lao and finally Chiang Rai. It was finally in Chiang Rai that the ruler of the city hid it.
