Loy Krathong Ceremony - Chetawan Temple, Petaling Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia
I just come back from Loy Kratong Celebration in Chetawan Temple, PJ. Today is the loy kratong day - 24 November 2007.
There are lots of people that went there. Each of them will bring the kratong to ‘release’ it in the nearby lake, the Taman Tasik Jaya.
The ceremony start with the chanting by the monk and followed by the loy kratong ceremony. I manage to take some photo but not much of it as my camera is out of battery
I heard that tomorrow, there are one more ceremony which will be organize by PESILA at a lake in Kepong area (a lake nearby MRR2).
There are many belief about the loy kratong ceremony. Some people believed that it is a way to avoid bad luck, some belief that this ceremony is to make a respect for the river while some other belief that it is to show a respect for Buddha.
Here is some photo that I take during the visit:
