I have hundreds of these two weeks Laos holiday photos, and I am not afraid to share it with you guys,
enjoy the picture after the jump,
here goes morning visit to the traditional market,
The completion of the 'Bathing the Buddha' ritual serves
as the signal that encourages ordinary mortals to themselves engage in mutual
water splashing. Accordingly, people flock to the streets with pots, pans,
bottles, or whatever, where they uninhibitedly splash, spray and douse each
other with water.
The Water Splashing ceremony, however, is more than just
good-natured fun; it also contains a religious element: water is regarded as a
symbol, firstly, of religious purity, but also of goodwill among people.
Therefore, splashing a fellow human being with water during the Water Splashing
Festival, whether a close neighbor or a fellow villager, or even a stranger, is
an expression of the desire for good luck and prosperity to that person.
