Phnom Penh(PP), the capital of Cambodia, is one of the fastest-growing cities.
Behind this development are many complex environments that have not been organized.
I would like to continue a small environmental campaign here, which is used to throwing away trash rather than disposing of it.
The coordinates presented are Café Amazon in front of the National Library building.
Free drinks are provided for participants. There will be a simple orientation during coffee time.
It will be active for about an hour from 9 a.m. around the Cambodian-Thailand Friendship Garden.
I'm going to provide a garbage bag, and please wear work gloves and appropriate clothes. And sunscreen is also required.
We will be able to show Cambodian the importance of the environment as an activity.
Cambodia Royal Ploughing Ceremony Day
The ploughing ceremony is an ancient royal rite observed annually in Cambodia under the auspices of the king to announce the arrival of the rice-planting season and predict the crop productivity of the coming season.
His Majesty, King Norodom Sihamoni of the Kingdom of Cambodia at the Royal Ploughing Ceremony in Phnom Penh.
In Cambodia, the history of the Ploughing Ceremony can be traced back to Funan period (1st-6th century) and was introduced from ancient India. The ceremony is also appeared in Reamker, the Cambodian version of Indian epic Ramayana and some other Buddhist literature.
In Angkor Borei (former capital of Funan), a statue of Balarama holding plough dated to 6th century was found. This deity statue was sculpted for the ploughing ritual and is considered to be the earliest evidence relevant to the ceremony.
The ploughing ceremony is considered to be one of the most important Khmer royal ceremonies and performs annually in Cambodia.
The event, which has been suspended for the past two years, will be officially held this year. We will be able to see the event at the nearby palace after the CITO event.
