1. The consecration ceremony with Rian 1st batch Kruba Apiwat at Wiharn Laikham, Wat Phra Singh, Chiang Mai. (25 November B.E.2564).
2. The consecration ceremony at Wat ThungPong. (31 May B.E.2565).
According to legend, in 1407 when Phra Buddha Sihing was established in Chiang Rai, a war broke out between Chiang Rai and Chiang Mai, with Chiang Mai triumphing in the end. King Saenmuangma, ruler of Chiangmai, took Phra Buddha Sihing to Chiang Mai by transporting it down the Ping River.
The boat on which Phra Buddha Sihing was carried was moored for unloading at Wang Singkham Pier. While being borne on the pavilion chariot, the rays were seen to emanate from the body of the image traveling in the Northeastern direction as far as 4 kilometers. A monastery was therefore built on the spot and named Wat Faham (literally, Monastery of Brilliant Sky) in remembrance of the miracle.
At first, King Saenmuangma intended to enshrine Phra Buddha Sihing at Wat Suandok, which was located outside the city wall to the West. But when the chariot was hauled as far as Wat Lichiangphra, it got stuck and could not be moved any farther. King Saenmuangma considered this an omen and ordered a spired temple canopy built inside Wat Lichiangphra to house Phra Buddha Sihing.
Phra Buddha Sihing, now established at Wat Lichiangphra, inspired so much reverance and veneration among the people that the temple came to be named after the image itself. The sound 'Phra Buddha Sihing', however, was in time shortened into 'Phra Sing Luang', and the temple was so named till this day.
At the approach of each Songkran Festival, Phra Buddha Sihing will be carried on a chariot in a procession around the city of Chiang Mai for people to sprinkle scented water on the image for New Year blessings and auspiciousness every year.
It is believed that the person who owns this Phayant Phra Buddha Sihing (Phra Sing Luang) will be prosperous and the pupose will be succeeded. It is worshiped for protection from all dangers, good trade, popular with people. It is a great mercy, home protection and can be used in thousands of others purpose.
