Thailand - Royal Ploughing Ceremony
The Royal Ploughing Ceremony is an ancient fertility rite annually held in many Asian countries, including Thailand. The ceremony officially marks the beginning of the rice growing season.
The Royal Ploughing Ceremony (Raek Na Khwan) is of Hindu origin. Earlier, Thailand also observed another fertility ceremony, which was of Buddhist origin. In the mid-19th century, King Mongkut (Rama IV) merged both ceremonies into a single one.
