Background & Creation
- Created to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the passing of Somdej Phra Putthacharn (Toh Promrangsi), which fell on 22 June B.E. 2515 (1972).
- The project was initiated by M.L. Nueangphon Sudasna, who proposed it to Phra Rajadhamma Bhani (acting abbot of Wat Rakhang at the time) to create sacred objects to raise funds for the restoration of Wat Rakhang Khositaram.
- Supported by the Royal Thai Navy, with Admiral Charoon Chelarmlert (Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Thai Navy) as chairman of the lay committee.
- Official project name: “Project to Create Votive Objects in Commemoration of the 100th Anniversary of the Passing of His Holiness Somdej Phra Putthacharn (Toh Promrangsi) at Wat Rakhang Khositaram, Thonburi”
Consecration Ceremonies (Puttaphisek)
Three major ceremonies held at Wat Rakhang:
- 1st ceremony: Thursday, 16 September B.E. 2514 – consecration of gold yantra sheets and sacred powder ingredients.
- 2nd ceremony: Saturday, 18 September B.E. 2514 – pouring of Buddha images and statues. HM King Bhumibol Adulyadej (Rama IX) and HM Queen Sirikit personally presided over the first pouring at 15:35 and planted a sandalwood tree in front of the Tripitaka hall.
- 3rd ceremony: Thursday, 22 June B.E. 2515 (exact 100th anniversary day). HM the King and HM the Queen returned to preside over the final major consecration and laid the foundation stone for the Buddhist studies school.

Details of the Powder Phra Somdej (Roon 100 Pee)
- Each mould was produced in a quantity of 84,000 pieces (symbolizing the 84,000 Dhamma khandhas), except for the “Khanan” mould.
- All production steps were carried out within the temple grounds under the supervision of Phra Kru Bai Dika Chokchai.
- Main ingredients: Pathamang powder, old sacred powder (including old Wat Rakhang, Bang Khun Phrom, Pra Pilan, etc.), various holy herbs, plaster from the ordination hall, pollen from many flowers (especially lotus pollen from the Emerald Buddha), fragments of gold leaf.
- All pieces were hand-pressed in the traditional way (not mass machine-stamped). Multiple mould blocks were created (over 10 sets) to replace worn moulds.
- Main pressing done inside the temple. Later, remaining powder was sent to a factory for additional pressing (≈4,000 pieces as a supplementary batch). All were brought back for the final consecration together. Some pieces have a red ink stamp on the back.
Popular Moulds of Phra Somdej (Powder Version) in this edition
- Large popular mould (also called Tor-shaped head type A – first block) → full mould (with celestial cloth lines) and non-full mould
- Tor-shaped head type B
- Thread-line mould (deep / large / small)
- Blurred fish-egg mould
- Double arch mould (rarest)
- Khanan mould (small size, no red stamp)
- Somdej Toh portrait mould
This edition is widely regarded as having clear historical documentation, grand ceremonies, very potent sacred materials, and is considered the post-Somdej Toh era Wat Rakhang Phra Somdej that most closely follows the original tradition.
