The event was honored by the presence of H.E. Mr. Tumur Amarsanaa, the Ambassador of Mongolia to Thailand, who invited Buddhist monks from Mongolia to perform the "Aravnailah" ceremony.
The Sacred Ritual
The Aravnailah is considered a significant ritual in which monks chant parittas, prayers, and sacred mantras according to ancient traditions. During the ceremony, sacred objects brought from major temples in Mongolia were enshrined within the statue. Upon completion, the Buddha image is revered as a medium for the mercy, wisdom, and grace of the Buddha.
A Rare Spiritual Opportunity

• Compassion and Mercy: A sense of spiritual protection.
• Mental Peace: Clarity and wisdom for daily life.
• Inner Strength: Encouragement and resilience.
