Therefore, Prakruba Sirivichai is the centre of the faith possessed by the people who are possessed of Patipataparami and who repaired more than 100 temples at the past time. At the past progressive period of Lanna Region, the King who rulled the City was often the leader of the renovation of he important temples of the city up to the 2463 B.E. This  fact is regarded a the first time occurring in Lanna Land in which the person who renovated the temple was not the ruler of the City, but they were the Lanna monks whom the people respected. That is to say the Lanna people respected and faith in Pra Kruba Sivijai Sirivijayo.
