The temple was established in 1942 under the guidance of Phra Riew Kusala Jitto. He devoted himself to creating numerous Buddha statues that became the defining feature of the complex.
The temple is known for housing handmade Buddha statues created by Phra Riew and his students, each representing different aspects of Buddhist practice. These figures shape how visitors experience the sacred spaces within the complex.
Visitors should wear modest clothing that covers shoulders and knees when exploring the site. Shoes must be removed before entering any temple buildings or prayer areas.
The main hall was originally designed as an ubosot but was modified due to regulations. Today it holds an exceptional collection of hand-sculpted Buddha figures created through traditional crafting methods.
