The Thai people, especially farmers, believe that there is a goddess of rice or "Mae Phosop" who guards the rice plants and make them grow fine. The farmers thus hold ceremonies to worship the Goddess at different stages of rice planting. The worship is believed to make Mae Phosop bless the farmers with a good harvest.
When the rice plants are forming into ears, which the Thais call tang thong (pregnant), the farmers will prepare fruits that pregnant women like to eat, including bananas, tamarinds and sugarcane, to be put in a bamboo basket together with face powder, perfume oil and a comb and placed at an auspicious spot in a field. Some blades of rice plants are applied with the powder and fragrance and touched with the comb.
