Tung - the decoration for religious ceremonies and celebrations, Lampang , Thailand
The tung that can be seen around homes and Buddhist temples are used as decorations and adornments for religious ceremonies and celebrations. During celebrations of making merit at local temples, tung are hung in the front of and inside the sanctuaries. In the ‘Poy Luang’ ceremony, which is the commemoration of the construction of certain rooms in the temples such as the stupa and viharn, tung are hung from bamboo poles and placed around the construction areas, as if to declare to all who pass by that there is a fiesta occurring inside the monastery. The tung are placed like toy soldiers in rows leading up to the temple.
