SUMMARY:Boun Khao Padabdin (Rice Growing Festival)
DESCRIPTION:Boun Hor Khao Padabdin (the literal translation is decorate (padab) dirt\earth (din))starts in the middle of the rainy season. This festival is held in commemoration of dead ancestors. Over two days\, Buddhist devotees flock to the Vats (temples) carrying strays of offerings for monks and deceased ancestor. Music is traditionally performed in the grounds of the Vat while people make their donations. During Boun Khao Phansapadabdin\, each household cooks a number of “khao Tom” to give to relatives and friends and some are reserved for giving alms to the monks. In the early morning at 4am to 5am\, people place the “khao tom” and other food wrapped in banana leave or lotus leave in the four corners outside one’s house\, the stairs\, the spirit house\, the rice storehouse\, and on the gate\, as well as on the ground so that the sprit can reach them. It is also the time to shoe respect to “Mae Thoranii” (the Earth God).
