PHAUNG DAW OO PAGODA FESTIVAL AT
INLE LAKE
(Sep. 30 - Oct. 17, 2008)
The Phaung Daw Oo Pagoda Festival is one of the most famous
pagoda festival in Myanmar. 4 Buddha Images are taken around
the lake in a gilded barge pulled by hundreds of leg-rowers
in long canoes in front. These images sometimes stay over
night at some villages and sometimes just stop over for a
short while. Rowing competitions are also held. Pilgrims
from all over the country come to this festival to pay
homage to the Buddha Images. Many are from the plains, some
from the mountains, while others are from small remote
villages but everybody is here to gain merit and enjoy the
festive air of the event.
