Question

Give the distinctive characteristics of Loy Keathong festival and yYi Peng festival? ​

Answer 1

${\huge{\underline{\underline{\bf{\pink{Answer:-}}}}}}$

The main difference between these two festivals is the type of lanterns used; Yi Peng features the floating sky lanterns and at Loi Krathong, water lanterns are offered to the river gods.

Answer 2

The primary distinction between these two celebrations is the sort of lanterns used; while at Loi Krathong, water lanterns are dedicated to the river gods, Yi Peng celebrates with flying sky lanterns.

Other features are:-

• The Yi Peng festival is notable for its floating sky lanterns, or khom loi.
• Even though Yi Peng is a significant public event, it is surprising that it is not a recognised holiday.
• In the Lanna (the ancient northern Thai kingdom) lunar calendar, it is observed on the full moon of the second month. Yi means "two," and peng means "full moon day."
• The Thai lunar calendar's twelfth month is when the water lantern festival known as Loi Krathong takes place on the evening of the full moon.
• Although it is less well known to outsiders, it is a very important holiday in Thailand.
• It is a method to express regret for what you do to the river the rest of the year, according to a local Thai woman.

Hence, the primary distinction between these two celebrations is the sort of lanterns used; while at Loi Krathong, water lanterns are dedicated to the river gods, Yi Peng celebrates with flying sky lanterns.
