Hello friends, today I will take you to see the fun when there is a merit-making event or a joyful event, such as an ordination ceremony, which is an event where a family has a son who is twenty years old. According to tradition, he must ordain for his parents. Ordination means shaving the head and wearing the yellow robe, refraining from committing sins, and observing the 227 precepts to reduce and abandon all defilements and defilements, in order to develop mindfulness by observing the precepts and chanting according to the monks' routine. In each ordination ceremony, families where the parents are wealthy and like to have fun will hire a circle dance to perform at the event, so that the relatives who attend the event can dance to the fun songs that the band has arranged.
The band that accepts the job will have many singers and dancers, so that the attendees can go up and hang garlands and ask to dance along. The songs will be fun and have a fast, lively rhythm. In addition to ordination ceremonies, there will also be temple fairs or annual events organized by the temple. Some years, there will be a circle dance band. A famous circle dance band that sings fun songs and has beautiful dancers will be popular and get hired to perform a lot. And in the picture I brought to show my friends, it is a temple fair where the temple hires a band to let the villagers join in the fun after being stressed from their daily work. This is a tradition of Thai people that we don't see as often as in the past.
