Arranged at the south-western shore of Lake Inlay, likewise called Inle Lake (Shan State, Burma) with its drifting business sector and the Phaung Daw Oo Pagoda, Ywama is a fundamental visitor site and going by it is dependably a fascinating and memorable undertaking. Nonetheless, Ywama is taking care of business amid the Burmese month of Thadingyut (September/October) when the Phaung Daw Oo Pagoda Festival is held.
On the off chance that you need to visit the lake and Ywama as of now you should book your trip well ahead. This is a counsel that ought to be considered important as you will generally barely discover a place to remain. Everything will be completely reserved and even fundamental lodging in cloisters will be stuffed.
A large number of the guests are local people who go ahead a journey from everywhere throughout the nation to pick up merits and to guarantee great wellbeing and flourishing in this life as well as existence in the wake of death by paying reverence to the five brilliant Buddha statues the Phaung Daw Oo pagoda is lodging.
I have recently said Buddha statues yet it doesn't appear to be very certain whether these statues are as a few sources say all pictures of the Gautama Buddha or - as others say - two of them are pictures of the Buddha and the other three pictures of his supporters. In any case, the numerous centimeters thick layers of gold leaves cushioned on the statues by aficionados (just men are permitted to put gold leaves on the statues) have after some time changed the once significantly littler and absolutely flawlessly framed pictures into stout pieces of gold that don't permit any conclusion in the matter of who will be who and what. Every one of the five are very adored and just once a year are four of them taken on board an impersonation of an 'Illustrious flatboat'. In antiquated circumstances the canal boats were invited by lords and Sawbaws when they achieved Nyaung Shwe, the biggest town at and door to the Inlay Lake, however this is history. The lords or Sawbaws have a place with the past however the regal flatboats are restored each year in all their grandeur and radiance as the focal piece of a huge armada of many different canal boats and littler and bigger water crafts. These are escorting the pictures in a 18-days in length parade close by the Inlay Lake where the pictures visit the religious communities of the ten biggest settlements on and at the lake. For one night they are brought into the fundamental religious communities of these towns so as to bring gifts and good fortunes for the year ahead to the towns and their tenants.
The stately 'Illustrious freight ship' conveying the pictures is - and also alternate flatboats - given the presence of a Karaweik, the imperial fowl mount of Vishnu (Sanskrit for 'Garuda') by putting a tremendous, 'feathered' brilliant picture of a Karaweik's front part (head with bill, neck, bosom and wings) on the regal canal boat's fore and the similarly brilliant last part on its stern. Upon the inside piece of the freight boat (the Karaweik's back, in a manner of speaking) is raised a royal residence like, brilliant structure that houses the four valuable pictures and offers enough space for religious dignitaries and priests, famous people, the security staff guarding them and additionally other traveler of the flatboat. Furthermore the freight ships are brightened with countless (white umbrellas) and 'Htishwes' (brilliant umbrellas).
On the off chance that you have perused appropriately you may now inquire as to why just four of the five statues are put on board the imperial freight ship to be dispatched around the lake. All things considered, here is the appropriate response. As, once more, legend has it at first every one of the five statues were sent around the 'Decorate'. Be that as it may, amid one of the parades the freight ship conveying the statues overturned and the pictures sank to the lake's floor. Everything except one could be rescued over the span of the quickly began protect activity. At the point when the four rescued statues were taken back to the pagoda the fifth one that couldn't be rescued had as of now inexplicably re-showed up stopped wet and hung with weed on its place in the pagoda. As far back as this happened this specific statue is left back in the pagoda as a watchman while the other four are send on the beautiful and bubbly parade.
While the historical backdrop of the Phaung Daw Oo pagoda is - with at this written work just barely around sixty years - a short one, the tale of the five brilliant pictures backpedals to the center of the twelfth century. It starts as legend has it with the Pagan King Alaungsithu who ruled from 1112 A.D to 1167 A.D. He was the grandson of his forerunner King Kyanzittha who ruled from 1084 A.D. to 1112 A.D. furthermore, is likewise known by the names Cansu I and Rhuykudayaka. Lord Alaungsithu had the five statues covered up in a buckle holy place close to the Inlay Lake when he came back to Pagan from one of his adventures. In this give in they were later rather inadvertently found lastly given their new home; the Phaung Daw Oo pagoda. Endless supply of the pictures toward the finish of the parade on the last - eighteenth - day of Thadingyut, the finish of the Buddhist loaned, the watercraft races that have like the celebration turn into a piece of the Inlay Lake's economy start.
The Intha have excitedly anticipated the races. The groups, predominantly rowers (yet in addition 'oarswomen'), are the best of their particular town or town. They have resolutely and wildly polished in the days before their race so as to end up triumphant and convey popularity to their home town/town and themselves. Congestion not just goes for the lodgings and religious communities close by the lake amid the celebration yet additionally for a decent vantage point on the lake or its shore to watch the watercraft races occurring inside the system of the paddling vessel rivalry for which reason one must be here, ahead of schedule, i.e. with the initially, faintest indications of dawn. The paddling watercraft rivalry is separated into two classes, ladies and men, who thusly are isolated into various pontoon classifications (bigger and littler vessels) and in addition into leg and arm-paddling disciplines.
The 'Decorate Lake Boat Races' are really an energizing occasion and the very engaging and upbeat piece of the generally rather genuine religious undertakings of the pagoda celebration and the parade of the statues. The most fabulous of the paddling pontoon disciplines - the lord's teach, so to state - is absolutely the men's long vessel leg-paddling. Envision, thirty, forty and more men happily wearing the conventional Intha outfit remaining in maybe a couple tight lines one not far behind and alongside each other in their little and long kayak, leg-paddling - paddles flurrying and water sprinkling - damnation for-cowhide in the endeavor to exceed their rivals; a genuine gem of teach, adjust and synchronization. This is an exceptionally captivating sight not liable to be at any point overlooked. Obviously, not generally do the leg-rowers prevail with regards to keeping themselves and the kayak in adjust, which much to the pleasure of onlookers and contenders closes in the oarsmens' scrubbing down in the lake.
Much too speedy the shading and memorable show is finished and soon it has returned to regular day to day existence at the lake. Be that as it may, this is nothing to stress over as even without a celebration life at the lake is intriguing and beautiful; and all things considered, one year from now's Thadingyut is wanting certain.
Another fascination of Ywama is its coasting market. As a matter of fact, in the same way as other different towns on the lake, Ywama has two skimming markets, one of which is held each day and the other, greater one, is the five-day-coasting market that pivots between the towns around the 'Decorate'. This/these gliding market(s), still very customary and generally unstained by the impact of tourism, definitely trigger(s) photos of its/their partner in Bangkok; from how it was 20 to 30 years prior and what it would seem that today. One can dare to dream that the brilliant, 'virgin' coasting business sector of Ywama and the other drifting markets on the Inlay Lake won't worsen to an unadulterated and poor vacation destination similar to the case with Bangkok's available day gliding market. In any case, I am anxious about the possibility that that with an expanded number of remote guests the Ywama gliding business sector will rapidly turn into a place ruled by visitors and gift vendors in which the neighborhood individuals offering their create, items and other stock will be the minority. What's more, here the story does not end. I am likewise pondering where the huge amounts of waste created by the vacationers will at long last wind up. I figure I do definitely know where this will be. Do you know what I am considering?
In any case, I trust you have delighted in perusing my article and will return when I distribute the following one. You won't need to hold up long.
I am German by birth yet am living since 25 years in Burma/Myanmar and know the nation, its kin, its way of life and its history exceptionally well. This has made me an expert on Burma. In the wake of resigning in 2012 I turned essayist. Kindly do likewise observe my Professional Photos and my profile.
