Celebrating the Pchum Ben Festival in Cambodia this week. Pchum Ben itself is a fusion of two Khmer words: 'Pchum' - which means 'to gather together' and 'Ben' - which represents a 'ball of food'.
Pchum Ben officially lasts for 15 days - and is an annual holiday in Cambodia. A time to pay respect to ancestors - going back as far as seven generations. Similar to Memorial Day in the USA or Qing Ming in China. Most people get one or two weeks off and schools (and small shops) are closed.
People pack their bags and return to their hometowns, where they visit with relatives and pray at local pagodas. One of the busiest religious holidays of the year.
The boys above are hamming it up and happy to pose for a portrait. The makeup and drums are part of the celebration and I made them pose for about 30 shots until I got it right. 😁 They were rewarded with high fives and icy soft drinks.
