Park (Suan Thung Sri Mueang), สวนทุ่งศรีเมือง , in central Ubon Ratchathani city. There are two prominent features of this
park, the Giant Candle or Merit Sculpture and the City Pillar Shrine. The Giant Candle monument is a
permanent tribute to the Candle Festival held every July in Ubon Ratchathani
at the start of Khao Phansa (Buddhist "Lent") when all monks retreat to the
temples. the Candle Festival involves a display of elaborately carved
beeswax candles, created by local artisans, which are carried throughout the
city and displayed in Suan Thung Sri Mueang before being presented to the
local temples. The festival also includes demonstrations of local folk
arts and skills and cultural performances as well as beauty contests and
dramas portraying the life of the Lord Buddha. Wikimapia location |
