Our local Thai Monastery, Wat Buddha Samakhee, in Christchurch, New Zealand, https://www.sanghaoceania.org/en/watchch, recently acquired a statue of Upagupta: Upagupta - Wikipedia, Upagupta | Encyclopedia.com.
The statue relates to the story of Upagupta stopping the sun to delay noon, so that he has more time to finish his meal.
Unfortunately, the transition from the Northern Hemisphere to the Southern Hemisphere creates some geographical issues. The Vihara and the various Buddha images are oriented in the traditional way, facing east. This means that Upagupta is looking to the south-eastern sky. In the Northern Hemisphere he would be looking towards the sun, but down here the sun is in the north-east before noon, so he is facing in the wrong directionā¦
Unfortunately, I suspect the demand for Southern-Hemisphere-friendly Upagupta statues is rather smallā¦ 
However, geographical issues aside, I would point out that this Upagupta story has significant resonance in Aotearoa, New Zealand. There is a MÄori legend of people in ancient times being fed up with the sun traversing the sky too fast. The god Maui traps the sun at dawn and beats him until he agrees to travel more slowly.
