Boat Spiritual Ritual and Ceremony at Wat Ek Reangsey! [swap to the 10th for video] Even though the Boat Racing Ceremony is canceled this year due to the virus and flood, yet the local ceremony for the boat spirit is still Happened. Every year, The Chief Monk and local people who love boat and respect the ritual ceremony celebrate a small ritual to pay respects to the boat spirit to protect and look after to both the boat and the racer during the ceremony. At Wat Ek Reangsey, they usually do it by preparing some foods, playing and singing ritual music for the spirit and taking the bot to the river to do another activity as you can see in the video, the chief monk and two other boys throw three raw chicken that were killed and taken out the intestines into the river and shout to bow down and salut to both the boat spirit and the river spirit. I love to see this kind of ritual celebration because it keep our tradition and ritual alive. It’s in a modern era, but I hope people keep celebrating it from generation to generation so we will get to know more about our true identity. I love how they keep celebrating it every year. #battambang #cambodia #culturalheritage #missorangeblossom #spiritualawareness #spiritualceremony #watekreangsey #photography #localbeleif #locallife #localpeople #thediscoverer #explorer #travelincambodia #travelinbattambang #travelwithme #pandemic #flood (at ស្រុកឯកភ្នំ ខេត្តបាត់ដំបង) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGwoyfSlnIl/?igshid=nlu0rg7j3f09
