Pchum Ben Festival


Pjom  Ben   is  the biggest  festival  in  Cambodia, and all Cambodian obey this festival very much.  This festival celebrates for 15 days every year. During that 15 days, all Cambodian can relax from their works or study and have more holiday time. During these times they usually go to a pagoda in order to bring some foods, drinks, fruits, or some things that they want for monks. Moreover, in these 15 days they celebrate one party called ‘’ Bors Bay Ben’’. It means throw rice that combine with fruit, flower, water, or perfume to the place they that near the pagoda. They celebrated this party because they want to give some foods to their relatives that have died for a long time ago, or sometimes for other dead people who have no relatives to celebrate for. In each pagoda have a lot of people, they are very happy to follow Khmer traditional.
