Pho Sai city submitted works of small carved Lent tree to participate in the Ubon Ratchathani Lent candle parade tradition for the year 2026 by presenting the story of Lord Kulimalthera, the former great thief who repented with the mercy of the Buddha, conveying the principles of repentance, forgiveness, and the power of Dharma that can change human life, while inserting Buddha's history at the time of Buddha's enlightenment and presenting the local identity of Pho Sai district through exquisite carved art.
Key components of a candle.
Candle trunkThe candle trunk has a diameter of 0.45 meters, a height of 1.80 meters, and the peak is 0.50 meters. The top of the candle tree is carved into a 3-layer plume. The base supports the trunk, carved into birds, veggies, or birds. Himmapanese animals are believed to have a pleasant sound and live in the Sumerian mountain area.
The pattern on the trunk conveys important events in the Buddha's history, both when the Buddha visited the Kulimal before the anarchy and the enlightenment under the tree of Sri Maha Pho at the age of 35, on the banks of the Neranja River.
Parade frontIn front of the procession, there was a sculpture of a Tandima bird, a semi-human Himmapan animal, who was responsible for guarding the sanctuary, like the protector of the Sumerian foothills.
Another key element is the Turtle House, the former nation of King Kulimal, telling the story of the Bodhisattva who sacrificed his life to help the victims of the shipwreck, allowing people to use the meat for food and transporting the shells safely back to the country, reflecting the great service and sacrifice.
The post-processAt the back of the procession, after hearing the dharma from the Lord Buddha, he gave an ehiphikku eucharistic eucharistic conception, causing the ruthless great thief to change himself to attain Arhat.
