pory-luang (ปอยหลวง) Festival
This festival comes from two local words are "pory (ปอย)" means celebrate and "luang (หลวง)" means big or huge, therefore, "pory-luang" means a big or huge celebration. This festival has an objection for celebrating for temples with new constructions such as a new monks' house, a new pavilion for sermons in a monastery and a new or a renovated pagoda.
This festival is set on a period between February to June for 7 day. The temple will inform people in area and other temples for continuing inform people around to make offerings of their own. Then, on the date, they will set a procession with musical instruments such as a gong, a tomtom, cymbals, small cup-shaped cymbals and play along with dancers to the celebrated temple. Afterwards, there is a contest for offerings of each area too.
