The wax figure of Somdej Phra Sangharaj Chao Khrom Luang Wachira Yannasangwon which contains the real hair of the Somdej Sanghraj has been transformed into Phra Taat.
Luang Phor Yuen Khantipalo had asked for permission from Somdej Phra Wannarat Wat Bowonniwet Vihara to pay respects to the great virtues of the late Somdej Sangharaj who had passed away. Therefore Luang Phor wanted to build wax statues just as though the real Somdej Sangharaj was sitting there.
A total of 3 statues were built.
The first was dedicated to His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej, when His Majesty was still undergoing medical treatment at Siriraj Hospital.
The second one was offered with gratitude in honour of the Supreme Patriarch at Wat Bowonniwet.
The third was given to Ramkhamhaeng Hospital to be placed in the Dhamma room for all people, doctors and nurses included, to pay their respects.
Luang Phor Yuen had been taking care of all the details and carefully overseeing this operation, and used the real hair of the Supreme Patriarch. Tahn kept the hair and entrusted to Dr. Chumpon Damrong Supasunton, who then kept it and offered it to Luang Phor Yuen Khantipalo as it was a very auspicious occasion.
