    Raksha Bandhan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Happy Rakhi! Note: There are *two* such holidays every year: Rakhi and Bhaiya Dooj.

    Quoted: The festival is marked by the tying of a rakhi, or holy thread by the sister on the wrist of her brother. The elder brother in return offers a gift to his sister and vows to look after her same as elder sister return offers to younger brother. The brother and sister traditionally feed each other sweets.

  • This is a one activity that Thai people will be do in important Festival at the temple example : Songkran , Koah Pansa , New Year Ceremony in Temple . We call this activities is “ Koh Pra Chedi Sai “ . By meaning “ Koh maen Create or build “ , “ Pra Chedi mean Chedi or Stupa “ , and “Sai mean Sand “ . So Koh Pre Chedi Sai mean to Creat or build Chedi by sand . Now this activities is rare to found in local Thailand because this is the old traditional of Thai people who do in the special occasion that old generation in Thailand create this tactic for the next generation to follow up .

    They try to compensate a sand when they take the sand out of Temple ,after they went to temple ,sand may be stick with shoes when they back home . A little bit sand in one time but many times in one year so it will be accumulate to a big quantities .So sand in temple have to lose in big quantity .Thai Bhudist who respect the temple would like to bring a big quantity sand return to temple and ……..
    How do they do ?

    Thai Buddist think try to find out the method how the sand back to Temple .They think the tactic by they will be held the creat sand chedi tradition with the enjoy and funny activity in Temple ,Somewhere there are a contest of build sand chedi .
