Um Phra Dam Nam This festival is an annual tradition of Phetchabun which is unique and found no where. This religious ceremony means the bathing of a Buddha image. This event is annually held on the fifteenth day of the waning moon in the 10th lunar month or during the Sat Thai period, in September. All the city inhabitants cerebrate and enjoy this ceremony. In the past, the tradition’s name is different such as Um Phra Dam Nam, Um Phra Song Nam. Somebody calls Pra Pea Ni Sat Thai Wat Trai Phum or Pra Pea Ni Phra Put Tha Rup Song Nam. Until October 1985, the tradition arrangement committee announces an official name "Um Phra Dam Nam".
