Enthusiasts Gather For Pchum Ben Festival
PHNOM PENH, CAMBODIA - SEPTEMBER 23: Two young women deposit sand to honour the spirits of their ancestors during Pchum Ben festival in Wat Lang Ka pagoda on September 23, 2014 in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Pchum Ben or "Feast Festival for Ancestors," is a 15-day long Buddhist religious festival celebrated every year and one of Cambodia's most important religious ceremonies, during which food offerings are made to the spirits of ancestors and to Buddhist monks, who chant Buddhist verses overnight, in pagodas across the country. It is believed that the souls of seven generations of ancestors come back to walk the earth during this time of year, and that the food offerings allow these souls to enter into a more peaceful journey.
