  • Prabaranna: Pagoda-like structures of bamboo and colored paper are lashed atop boats to make floating temples. Buddhist monks sit inside chanting sutras as the boats are pulled up and down the shallow river before thousands of onlookers. But the event is hardly solemn. The monks’ chant is distorted over blaring loudspeakers, boatmen shout, and people splash in elated, sometimes drunken abandon.
