The massive 24-metre-tall statue, possibly one of the largest in the world, stands majestically over more than six rai of land owned by Subinnimit Foundation with a large number of both Thais and foreigners flocking in to pay homage and ask for blessing from this deity said to shower them with wealth and prosperity.

According to the legend Indra transformed himself into the four-eared and five-eyed deity to test the morality of farmers during a time of hardship.

He trampled over their paddy fields to see whether they would show him kindness. Even though some farmers attacked him, he was not harmed.

However one sympathetic farmer brought him some food to eat but he would not touch it. At nightfall as it got cold, the farmer lit some firewood to keep him warm, but Sihuhata suddenly picked up a red-hot firewood and put it in his mouth and incredibly spewed out gold to the delight of the farmer.
