The ceremony was led by the abbot of Wat Sawang Arom, Phra Kru Yati Thammanuyut, also known as Luang Pho Pae. He performed the sacred ritual of inscribing yantra tattoos on the back of devotees’ hands. This ritual is believed to bring good fortune and protection.

He mentioned that they brought a toy backhoe as an offering. He whispered to the spirit, asking for lucky numbers and received numbers 17, 15, and 7 from shaking the bamboo sticks.
