Historical Significance

Consecrated under Luang Pu Khaek, one of the respected southern masters, using a full Putthapisek empowerment attended by regional monks. This edition is known for blessings relating to Klaew Klaad (escape from danger) and Maha Lap (auspicious fortune).

Contextual Insight: Southern-style Phra Leela follows the Ligor–Nakhon artistic lineage. The use of Pong Yea (medicinal sacred powder blended with herbs and scripture ash) originates from old monasteries in the South. Fa Mai Dam (“blackened by sacred fire”) refers to the special curing method conducted before ritual empowerment.
Temple of Origin & Master’s Discipline
Wat Sunthon Pradit has long been known for its discipline in traditional southern wicha, especially protective formulas for travel and danger-aversion. Luang Pu Khaek was noted for his strict adherence to Wicha Ligor — a lineage known for powerful protective charm and strong powder-based consecrations.
