Thai people's faith in Buddhism is reflected in many rituals and festivals passed on from generation to generation. Among them is Tak Bat Dokmai, a floral offering merit-making ceremony, which coincides with the start of the annual Khao Phansa, or the Buddhist Lent. Tak Bat Dokmai is a unique merit-making ritual held at Wat Phra Buddha Bat, the Shrine of the Holy Footprint, in the central province of Saraburi.
