Background and Historical Significance

Wat Prasat, a historic temple dating back to the late Ayutthaya period, hosted one of the most spiritually significant mass consecration ceremonies in BE2506. This event was organized in collaboration with several leading temples and revered monks to produce amulets with high spiritual potency and strong protective power.

The Phra Somdej Pim Phraprathan Pim Yai was part of this special batch created to commemorate the event and provide protection and blessings to the faithful.

The term “Phraprathan” means “the Buddha who grants or bestows”, symbolizing mercy, fulfillment of wishes, and divine benevolence. The design is modeled after classical Wat Rakang Somdej styles but with a slightly larger mold and more pronounced features, offering a majestic presence.

• Shape: Rectangular vertical mold

• Image: Seated Buddha in Samadhi posture (Meditation), atop a three-tiered base
