Every month of the Myanmar 12 month lunar calendar has its own seasonal festival. At the alms-giving and robe offering occasions in this month a festive atmosphere is created. All oountry folks, old, young, and small participate and rejoice in such socio-religious cultural activities. The following nursery rhyme portrays the Wazo festival. The wood is used for making clogs, mortars and bullock carts.
Sone is a big mortar.
A plump stocky girl or woman is likened to Boksone. Myanmar women carry small children on their hips. Men carry them on their shoulders. The festival is known as Tazaungtaing pwe which literally means the festival of light. Tazaungmon is the month in which the Buddhist monks are offered Kahtein robes, lights are lit at the religious monuments and cultural and social entertainments take place.
