The ceremony of draping the red cloth over Phra Borommabhadra (Golden Mountain) at Wat Saket Ratchaworamahaviharn is a valuable tradition that has been passed down for over 130 years, since the reign of King Chulalongkorn (Rama V), after the relics of the Buddha were enshrined there.
Held annually for 10 days and 10 nights during the Loy Krathong festival, from the 8th waxing moon to the 2nd waning moon of the 12th lunar month, the event follows traditional beliefs that the color red symbolizes good fortune. Participants write their names and surnames on red cloth to be draped over the pagoda.
It is therefore believed to enhance one's fortune, bring prosperity, peace and happiness, and protect one from danger.
