Nam Khun District submitted small carved Lent tree works to participate in the Ubon Ratchathani Lent candle parade tradition for the year 2026 by presenting the story from Maha Vessantarajat, the last nation before the enlightenment of Bodhisattva coupled with Buddhist history. Important moments include the birth of Prince Siddhartha and the enlightenment under the Sri Maha Pho tree, conveying the virtues of sacrifice, compassion and service to achieve the Buddha.
Key components of a candle.
Candle trunkThe finely carved Thai patterned candle trunk consists of a Kanok pattern, a flame, a helical stem, and a Kalakas pattern, which is the native pattern of Ubon Ratchathani province. Inside the trunk, the Buddhist history is conveyed when Prince Siddhartha was born, and on the other side is the enlightened Buddha when he was 35 years old. Under the tree of Sri Maha Pho, on the banks of the Neranajara River, the trunk base is located on 4 elephant heads, which is a symbol related to many important events in the Buddha's history.
Parade frontIn front of the procession to convey Gandmouthi (9th Gandhamma) of the Great Vessantara, Chad told about the love, sacrifice, and grief of the Queen Mother as she went out to find fruit in the forest. During that time, Chuch went to ask for two children, Charlie and Lust, from Vessantara, who gave her son and daughter as alms.
Indra was afraid that Matri would return in time and obstruct the almsgiving service, so please let the three angels transform into tigers, yellow tigers, and lions, blocking the way. When Matri returned to the ashram and did not find the child.Therefore, he went out to follow him all night until he lost his strength and passed out. Therefore, Vesantara told the truth and asked her to join her in giving thanks, which reflected the great service of the Bodhisattva.
The post-processBehind the transfer procession, Chuchkan (5th Kun), who told the story of Chuch Brahmin, the beggar who got Mrs. Amittada as a wife before being incited by her wife, came to ask for two children from Vessantara to be servants, reflecting on the consequences of human greed and selfishness.
The end of the procession. Simulate the event of the Enlightened Buddha on the eve of the sixth month at the age of 35 at the beginning of Sri Maha Pho, along the banks of the Neranagaraj River. He attained 4 acts: distress, samutthai, nirath, and path, which is the heart of Buddhism.
