On Friday, 3 July 2026, at 10:00 a.m., Pranda Jewelry Public Company Limited was graciously granted royal permission to hold a Buddhist merit-making ceremony in honor of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit The Queen Mother at Dusit Maha Prasat Throne Hall, within the Grand Palace, as an expression of respect and remembrance.
The ceremony commenced with Buddhist chanting by ten monks from Wat Buranasirimatayaram, Wat Rakhang Kositaram, Wat Rajadhiwas Vihara in Bangkok, Wat Senasanaram Ratchaworawihan in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya, and Wat Chulamanee in Samut Songkhram Province. This was followed by a Dhamma sermon entitled Amata Dhamma Katha, delivered by Phra Vajirasutthimoli of Wat Senasanaram Ratchaworawihan. The sermon reflected on the timeless teachings of Buddhism and the path to liberation from the cycle of rebirth, guiding practitioners toward lasting inner peace. Following the sermon, lunch was offered to the monks, followed by the offering of monastic robes, the chanting of traditional Buddhist funeral rites, and the dedication of merit.

Whether they are farmers, laborers, or engaged in any other occupation, wherever they may live, Thai people possess a remarkable appreciation for art. Given the opportunity to learn and practice, they will undoubtedly demonstrate their exceptional abilities.”
This royal statement reflects Her Majesty’s enduring vision to preserve Thailand’s artistic heritage while fostering the potential of Thai artisans.
