Pongsali Songkran Festival in Muang Khwa http://www.hotsia.com > Pongsali > Pongsali Songkran Festival in Muang Khwa Before arriving at Pongsali (Make sure to read this properly) Phu Fa Stupa .. Pongsali Dining at a Pongsali local's home Muang Khwa to Dien Bien Phu Pongsali Bus Station 2014 Guesthouses in Pongsali Boat from Haad Sa to Muang Khwa Pongsali Morning Market 2014 Initially, I did not plan to separate this topic, but after seeing all the beautiful photos taken, I had to share them separately. These are images from the night of the 18th.

During the Songkran festival, villagers go at night to pour water on Buddha images, a ritual performed at all merit-making events, not just Songkran. The people of Muang Khwa live a peaceful life, and most go to make merit at the temple. For the water pouring ritual, they do not pour water directly on the Buddha statues. Instead, water prepared at home is poured into a long trough that extends to the Buddha statues for the water pouring. I have seen this practice in many places throughout Laos. This kind of atmosphere is now rare to find. I am sharing it here quickly on the website.

So that future generations can continue to enjoy this tradition. Mr.Hotsia April 2011
