Phetchabun’s ‘Um Phra Dam Nam Tradition’ and Food Festival 2023

‘Um Phra Dam Nam Tradition’ and Food Festival 2023
10-19 October 2023
Wat Trai Phum and Wat Bot Chanaman
Translated from Thai, Um Phra Dam Nam literally means ‘diving while holding the Buddha’s image’. Legend has it that local villagers found a Buddha image floating in the river and brought it to the temple, but it then mysteriously disappeared before being found back at its original spot on the river. Hence, the Buddha image is brought back to the river each year, so the villagers can dive into the river holding it in the hope of receiving a blessing of ‘abundance and nature’s balance.’
