The Water Festival Celebrations

Festival last for three days.T he third day is reserved for water splashing. On that day, people put their newest and best clothes, then assemble at the local Buddhist temple, where the monks chant Buddhist scriptures. Afterward, a symbolic water splashing ritual is enacted whereby a Buddhist statue, with pomp and ceremony, is first coaxed out of the temple to the courtyard, then is splashed with water. This important ritual is called “Bathing the Buddha”. (Photo by Nyein Chan Naing/EPA)
