Boun Khun Khao in Laos
Agriculture is extremely important in Laos. Boun Khun Khao (the Rice Festival) is one of the most important festivals in Laos. The purpose of the festival is to express appreciation to the spirit of the land and to thank him for the abundant new harvest. The festival takes place on the banks of the Mekong River, around Vientiane at the end of January to early February.
The celebrations see rice farmers storing unhusked rice inside the temples. People usually sit around a gigantic bunch of flowers called Pha Khouan to attend a ceremony conducted by the elders of the village. They will tie a cotton string around people’s wrists and then pray for their happiness and well-being.
People would prepare some delicious specialties to eat during festive days, such as deep-fried Mekong fish, papaya salad, and rice wine. Everything they do is aimed to express their gratitude to nature for the rich harvest.
