The Navarathiri Festival in Bangkok

10/23/2015

0 Comments

 
Last night was the Navarathiri Festival celebrated by Hindus in Bangkok and there was thousands of people. Bangkok shuts down a big part of Bangkok (see map below) for the festival and there are many things to see. The festival is a Hindu Ganesha procession with Hindu rites that precede the dramatic Uma procession, passing dozens of petal-carpeted shrines around Silom and Sathorn, with fevered rites, blessings, mediums and self-mortification.​
​The festival is an interesting event to experience and if you catch yourself in Bangkok in the fall time of the year I recommend you take a look in the area of the Indian Hindu Temple (Wat Khaek Silom) on Silom Road in the Heart of Bangkok. Quite an experience!
