Festival in Myanmar
Major Ceremony of Buddhist
One important family celebration is ShinPyu or the
novitiation ceremony. This is a main duty of parents. This was done
to sacrifice his human dress to the yellow robe. The first step in
novitiation is to put the boy under a monk to learn the rules of
behavior as a novice. Than comes the auspicious play when he receives
the robe. The boy’s head is shaved and a senior monk invests him with
the robe. After the boy has recited the pali verses vowing to live
according to the rules of the order. Before the shaving ceremony, the
procession will be led by colourful decoration of the novice in
brilliant coronation regalia of Myanmar kings on horse back or by
shouldering.
Other participants including robes and offerings carriers belles of
the native, accompanied by the musical troupe. And proceed to the
monastery. A Shaving will be done & the food offered to the guests.
