Cambodia celebrates Pchum Ben, the culmination of a 15-day traditional festivities honouring the dead. During these 15 days, Khmer visit the temple to pray and make offering for dead relatives.
The Khmer believe that their dead relatives come and visit within this 15-day period in the Buddhist Calendar and, lo and behold, if they don't offer food and prayers for them, these dead relatives will leave curses. If they do, these dead relatives will leave them blessing.
You can see in these pictures the offering of food, money and prayers at the Temple. Comments are closed.
