#ChongPharaProcession #MaeHongSon #ChiangMai
Chong Phara are model castles made of wood and colored paper and decorated with fruits, flags and lamps.
On the full-moon day of the 11th lunar month, these castles are placed in the courtyard of houses and temples as a gesture to welcome the Lord Buddha on his return from giving sermons to his mother in heaven, according to traditional belief.
Other activities to celebrate the occasion include dances with performers dressed in animal costumes.
