The story and the divine power of this amulet. The Rattanakosin period began in 2325 BE. His Majesty King Rama I, the founder of the Chakri Dynasty, ascended the throne and established Rattanakosin or Bangkok as the capital of Siam.
He devoted most of his time to building the country to prosperity, including promoting Buddhism by ordering the invitation of Buddha images from the northern cities to be renovated and then enshrined as the principal Buddha images in the ordination halls of various monasteries, totaling 1,248 images. Therefore, Buddha images at that time included Sukhothai, U Thong, and Ayutthaya styles. There were no Buddha images of each era yet. It was not until the reigns of King Phra Phutthaloetla Naphalai, King Rama II, and King Nangklao, King Rama III, that the creation of Buddha images began, marking the beginning of the Rattanakosin Buddha images.The tradition of creating Buddha images or amulets in ancient times It is created for the sake of merit in the next life and to continue Buddhism. It is popular to create a total of 84,000 statues, equal to the number of Dhammakkhandha, and then place them in the pagoda or under the base of the principal Buddha image, etc.
As can be seen, excavations of Buddha statues and amulets from various eras have usually been found in the aforementioned places. However, for "Buddha statues from the Rattanakosin period", Buddhists like to create them to offer to temples and monasteries as a way to continue spreading Buddhism.
