Ananda Pagoda Festival in Bagan                                                   (4 december, 2008)

Ananda Pagoda festival in Bagan takes place about 20 days before and after the full moon day of Pyatho, which this year falls on 7th January to 25th January, 2009. Pagoda festivals give farmers the chance not only to worship at a famous pagoda but also make little extra cash selling handicrafts.
The first thing pilgrims do is worship at the pagoda, offering a bunch of fresh flowers with springs of auspicious the-bye leaves, lit candles and water. Only then comes the practical business of trade. By the time breakfast is over, the stalls are busy with customers. For the whole day people walk to and fro among the stalls, inspecting, comparing prices, choosing and bargaining.
At dawn on the day of the full moon, bowls of alms filled with rice are offered to monks who all wait in a long line, and special offerings at the Buddha with rice, fruit, cakes, flowers, candles and scent sticks. At that full moon day Pilgrims keep the Eight or Ten Precepts that bind them to a certain abstinence until dawn the following day.
Don’t miss this opportunity to explore the ways of life at the Myanmar Paya-Pwe !
