Inside, there are enshrined principal Buddha images and deities, which received royal grace from Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn, who presided over the opening ceremony of this temple.

The pagoda reflects the good relationship between the two cultures through a perfect work of art. It was graced by His Holiness the Supreme Patriarch, Krom Luang Vajirañāṇasaṃvara, who presided over the opening ceremony in 2001, making this place a gathering of faith and the highest auspiciousness.
