Phrachao Yai Luechai or Phra Rit Luechai

enshrined in an ubosot of Wat Amnat, Tambon Amnat, is a principal Buddha image in a subduing Mara posture in an ubosot of Wat Amnat. The Lan Xang-styled Buddha image, made of bricks and mortar and lacquered and gilded was built during 1855-1861. Since the community close to Wat Amnat that houses the Buddha image has been established for a long time and used to be the site of Amnat Charoen town, many stories about the miracle and sacred Phrachao Yai Luechai have been told by people who came to pay respect, and they said they had success in life and fame. Therefore, it is believed that anyone who pays homage to the Buddha image will be successful, defeat their enemies, have powers and overcome any obstacles in their lives.
