Myanmar- Inle Lake / Lago de Inle: Phaung Daw Oo Pagoda Festival
Inle Lake and the Phaung Daw Oo Pagoda Festival. October 2015:
The PHAUNG DAW OO Festival is the biggest and most important occasion in the SHAN State. The PHAUNG DAW OO Pagoda, one of the holiest sites of the SHAN State, houses five statues. Three of the statues are allegedly Buddha images and the other two Buddha disciples. All five have lost any recognizable shape after being encrusted with accumulated gold leaf over the centuries. The fifth Buddha image stays to guard the monastery. Legend has it that when the five were paraded around the lake, the barge suddenly capsized, only four statues were recovered but the fifth mysteriously reappeared at the pagoda draped in lake reeds and has remained there since.

It is held on a grand scale for 18 days, usually falls in October (sometimes in September). Four Buddha Images out of five from Phaung-daw-oo Pagoda are carried on royal barge and conveyed around 14 villages on the Lake. The barge is towed by the boats of leg-rowers and hundreds of boats follow the procession.
Inle Phaung Daw U Pagoda Festival 360
The Phaung Daw U Pagoda Festival is held annually for a total of 18 days. It is one of the most famous festivals in Myanmar. Both locals and foreign visitors come to visit this traditional festival in Inle Lake, Shan State. Annually, during the Myanmar Month of Thadingyut, usually between September and October, the 18-days festival is held. The festival is held with the dates according to the Lunar Calendar of Myanmar. It begins on the first Waxing Moon day of Thadingyut and ends a couple of days after the Full Moon. (For 2015, 14 October to 31 October)
A large boat with a Golden Hintha (Hamsa) Bird creation is built. The Buddha Images tour around the Inle Lake from village to village taking the whole 18 days on the way. During the festival, only four of the Buddha Images are moved onto the royal barge. One image always remains at the temple. The decorated royal barge is towed by several boats moving by leg-rowers of Inle. The barge is towed from village to village along the shores of the lake in clockwise fashion, and the four images reside at the main monastery in each village for the night. The high point of the festival is on the day when the images arrive at the main town of Nyaung Shwe, where most pilgrims from the surrounding region come to pay their respects and veneration by boats. There are hundreds of floating boats from near and far.

Thidingyut Wishes from Grace Win - 2015
Thadingyut Wishes from Grace Win Family.
The Thadingyut Festival (Burmese: သီတင်းကျွတ်ပွဲတော်), the Lighting Festival of Myanmar, is held on the full moon day of the Burmese Lunar month of Thadingyut. As a custom, it is held at the end of the Buddhist lent (Vassa) and is the second most popular festival in Myanmar after Thingyan Festival (New Year Water Festival). Thadingyut festival is the celebration to welcome the Buddha’s descent from the heaven after he preached the Abhidhamma to his mother, Maya, who was reborn in the heaven.
Myanmar Balloon Festival
The Taunggyi Balloon Festival is an annual event held in the city of Taunggyi, located in Myanmar (Burma). Celebrated at the end of the rainy season, it takes place around the full moon of Tazaungmon, or the eighth month of the Burmese calendar which is usually in November.
The festival draws thousands of spectators with amusement rides and carnival games, but the main highlight is the balloon competition. Teams compete against each other by constructing balloons and launching them. It can take weeks for the teams to construct the elaborate balloons which are judged on various criteria such as creativity and most importantly, a successful launch. The daytime launches start with the smaller designs, usually in the shape of animals. As the day progresses and the sun sets, the larger inflatables impress the crowds with candles dangling from the craft or with fireworks exploding once in mid-air. This event is not without hazards. Some of the balloons crash to the ground, and in 2014, one tragedy killed three spectators.

Nyaung Shwe, Burma (Myanmar): The Incredible Human-Powered Ferris Wheel!
At a festival near Inle Lake in Nyaung Shwe, Burma (Myanmar): We followed the noise to a wide open field where things became simultaneously surreal and familiar. There were beer gardens and carnival games, and a carousel for kids. In the middle of Burma, it felt oddly like an American county fair. There were people of all ages. Kids were giggling. Teenagers were flirting. Adults were watching their kids or getting sloshed at the beer garden. But we knew we were far from home when we saw the Ferris Wheel.
From a distance, it looked like any other Ferris Wheel, with flashing colored lights on each spoke. But as we got closer, we realized this was something that, for safety reasons, could never fly at an American county fair.
It had no motor. In groups of four, people clambered into carriages. Workers turned the wheel by hand -- slowly until they had a full crowd of fresh passengers. Then, with the dexterity of circus acrobats, several of them would climb the spokes to the top. A whistle would blow, and on that cue, they'd swing their legs out, dangling as the wheel began spinning. Passengers and onlookers would shriek. The workers would let go and plunk into the dirt as they neared the ground....

The World: Tazaungdaing - Myanmar's Festival of Lights
Tazaungdaing, also called Myanmar's Festival of Lights, happens every year on the full moon day at the end of the eighth month of the Burmese Buddhist calendar. It closes a month of celebratory offerings to local monasteries, and is marked by street fairs and trips to local Buddhist landmarks. This year the day fell on November 28th, the first day of a week reporter Bruce Wallace spent in Myanmar.
