Provincial Police Region 7 joined the casting ceremony of "Phra Ruang Rojanarit," drawing excitement as the Brahmin recited sacred verses causing the sky to darken and the wind to strengthen. Lottery enthusiasts eagerly took note, gaining "lucky numbers" to try their luck.
On 15 Mar 2026, reports stated that the previous afternoon (14 Mar), at the front plaza of Phra Ruang Rojanarit at Phra Pathom Chedi Royal Temple in Mueang Nakhon Pathom District, Somdet Phra Maha Wirawong, Secretary to the Supreme Patriarch and chief of the Buddhist side, along with Pol. Lt. Gen. Phisit Tanprasert, Commander of Provincial Police Region 7 and head of the lay side, conducted the casting ceremony of replica Buddha statues of Phra Ruang Rojanarit in sizes of 24, 18, and 9 inches, as well as brass, silver, and copper amulets. The 24-inch Phra Ruang Rojanarit statue will be enshrined in the newly built prayer hall of Provincial Police Region 7 to serve as a spiritual anchor and bring auspiciousness to police officers and the general public who come to the Region 7 office to pay respects, seek blessings, and receive protection.
The 18-inch replica of Phra Ruang Rojanarit will be distributed to all 104 police stations in Region 7, allowing officers to pay respects and receive protection. The 9-inch statues will be given to subordinate police stations and to supporters of police activities, such as those sponsoring scholarships for children of police officers who died in the line of duty and scholarships for children of police officers with excellent academic and behavioral records across the eight provinces under Region 7.
Regarding the Phra Ruang Rojanarit amulets, which bear the emblem of Police Region 7 on the back, three types of metal were used to create a total of 14,000 amulets. These will be distributed to all police officers under Region 7 for protection. After the casting ceremony, a major Buddhist consecration ceremony will take place on 20 May 2026, presided over by the renowned monk Luang Pu Sila Sirichandhro, along with several other prominent monks, to enhance the amulets' sacred power.
The ceremony began grandly, with police officers enthusiastically participating, including the Deputy Commander of Region 7, commanders from all eight provinces, and station chiefs. Offerings of various savory and sweet foods and fruits were presented to invoke the spirits, deities, and Phra Ruang Rojanarit to acknowledge the construction. The chief Brahmin chanted sacred verses while nine monks led by Phra Ratchawachirasutaporn, abbot of Bang Chang Nuea Temple and provincial monk leader of Nakhon Pathom, and Phra Thammavachirajetiyachan, acting abbot of Phra Pathom Chedi Royal Temple and deputy abbot, along with nine other monks, recited auspicious chants and Buddhist prayers. The casting was then performed jointly by Somdet Phra Maha Wirawong and Pol. Lt. Gen. Phisit Tanprasert. Senior police officers and police spouses of Region 7 signed brass sheets that were placed into the furnace, concluding the ceremony.
A reporter noted that during the Brahmin's chanting of sacred verses to Phra Ruang Rojanarit, attendees were surprised as the sky, previously bright and hot under the sun, suddenly darkened and strong winds blew, creating a cool shade. After the chanting ended, the sky cleared and the bright sun returned, which astonished participants and sparked discussions about the sacredness of Phra Ruang.
This phenomenon attracted the attention of many gamblers who noted the times when the events occurred—14:09 and the casting at 15:19—as potential lucky numbers to purchase lottery tickets for the 16 Mar 2026 draw.
