This shrine houses a replica of the Phra Phutthasihing, cast in silver. The original is in Bangkok. An extremely beautiful icon, one which is highly revered by townspeople. This Buddha image, along with the Emerald Buddha, are the guardians of the Chakri Dynasty (the current dynasty of Thailand). Thus they are significant national icons.
Situated one level below the central shrine, on the north side of the small structure, you will find a free mounted bell, waiting to be rung. There is a striker stored above the bell. Striking the bell is a customary feature of visiting the shrine (a donation can be made).
