Um Phra Dam Nam ritual bathing - 6th Sept


This is a ceremony which takes place in the Petchaburi province - I have taken my text from the TAT

Phra Buddhamahadammaraja, the principle Buddha image at Wat Traiphum temple, is the spiritual guardian of Petchabun province.

The Phra Buddhamahadammaraja Buddha image is invocated in the Um Phra Dam Nam ritual bathing ceremony performed by the provincial governor to ensure an abundance of crops, plentiful harvests and the prosperity of Petchabun, the ‘city of plants and crops’.

Phra Buddhamahadammaraja Buddha image is associated with the powers to heal illness and agricultural abundance.
