Some of the most famous artisans of his time were invited to do the job. While the first two images came out perfect on the first try, the last image took three castings. When it was completed, it turned out to be the most beautiful of the three and was named Phra Buddha Chinnaraj. The 375 centimeter high Sukhothai style image is in the subduing Mara posture.
