On behalf of Central Mansions, we would like to wish you prosperity and joyful family gathering during the Pchum Ben Festival!
Also called Ancestor’s’ Day, Pchum Ben is, according to legend, a time where spirits of deceased relatives and ancestors walk the earth. Running for 15 days, usually towards the end of September or October, the fifteenth day of the tenth month of the Khmer Calendar marks one of the most traditional and colourful festivals in Cambodia with people dressing up in traditional clothing to visit their local pagodas with food and offerings and pay respect to their ancestors.
Pchum Ben can also be translated to ‘gathering together to make offerings’, and that’s exactly what families do when they visit the pagodas. In 2019, Pchum Ben Festival holidays fall between September 27th and 29th.
Enjoy your wonderful family reunion!
