The Candle Festival is an annual celebration held in various regions, most notably in Thailand. It typically takes place in July, coinciding with the start of the Buddhist Lent. During this festival, large, intricately carved candles are paraded through the streets, symbolizing the importance of light and guidance in Buddhist teachings. The festival features vibrant processions, traditional music, and dance performances. Communities come together to create elaborate candle sculptures, showcasing their artistic skills. The event not only honors the religious significance of the candles but also fosters a sense of unity and cultural pride among the participants and spectators.
