Royal Ploughing Ceremony – this celebration marks the start of the rice planting season

The Royal Ploughing Ceremony is held once a year in Bangkok and is headed by His Majesty the King. Initially, an untainted Brahmanic custom, it has now been altered. Farm workers get ready for the enormous endeavor of manually cultivating rice that was similar to their predecessors. The observance is practiced to boosting the spirits of the locals and forecasting the crop development for the year.

The Buddhist element of the procedure saw the Khantarat Buddha pictures of the previous reigns, together with blessings like grains as rice, glutinous rice and sorghum, sesame seeds, taro, potato, gourd seeds, melons and sweet basil. Subsequent to the traditional ploughing, the sacred bulls were allow to run free and given servings of food consisting of rice, corn, sesame seeds and alcohol among others. The particular year’s farming produce would be decided by the food selected by the bulls.

If the bulls show a preference for rice or corn it can be interpreted as ample grains and bountiful fish will be in store for the future. On the other hand, beans or sesame predestined bounteous fish and meat, water or grass pointed toward a lot of rain, food, meat and agricultural crops. A more well-organized transportation arrangement, fine trade relations with other nations, and an overall flourishing financial system was prefigured by a choice of alcohol. This is in concurrence with the prophecies of Brahmin astrologers.

His Majesty the King's experimental land in the Chitrlada scheme makes available the forty kilograms and forty other grain types. The day of the Ploughing Ceremony has been named Agriculture Day with agricultural presentations available for interested tourists visiting Bangkok. The surplus generated in the ceremony is circulated to farmers around Thailand. Travelers who want to catch the event can do so by staying at Bangkok Serviced Apartments like the Bangkok Grand President.
