This amulet was released from Wat Intharaviharn temple, is at the northern edge of Banglamphu area of the Phra Nakhon District in Bangkok. Also called Wat In, of the late Ayuthaya period, when it was called Wat Bang Khunphrom Nok in the name of the suburb where it is located. This temple is a royal temple categorized as Class III, which was built at the beginning of the Ayuthaya period, and was initially called Wat Rai Phrik (meaning in the Thai language is The Chili Temple). It was so named as it is located within a vegetable farm. The land where the temple is situated was provided by King Rama 1 to accommodate the prisoners of war.

The King Rama VI Vajiravudh got it refurbished by Chao Inthawong, thereafter it has been known as Wat Intharavihan. Chao Inthawong also brought a priest from Vientiane to preside as the Abbot of the temple. The temple then was given a new name as Chai Inthawong. The temple's first architectural depiction is a 32 meters (105 ft.) high with 10 meters (33 ft.) wide standing Buddha statue referred to as Phra Sri Ariyamettrai or "Luang Phor To". The image is made of brick and concrete. Archan Toh, the then Abbot of the temple was the inspiration to build it. He died at the foot of the image in 1871 when it was incomplete.

The Buddha image is carrying an alms bowl and stairway at the sides to the back behind the statue provides access for devotees to paste gold leaf on the statue. In 1982 during the 200th anniversary of the establishment of Bangkok city, the image was decorated and refurbished and fitted with Italian glass and golden mosaic tile gilded with 24-carat gold. The topknot of the Buddha statue contains a relic of Lord Buddha which was given as a gift by the Government of Sri Lanka. Prince Vajiralongkorn did the enshrinement of the Buddha relic in the Ushnisha, the knot was placed in 1978.
