Today marks the 1st day (of 3 days) of the Lao/Thai/Cambodian/Burmese New Year, a very special time of new beginnings according to the Buddhist solar calendar. This is probably the most special month for many of us Southeast Asians and I wanted to showcase things that are a huge part of our culture, and to wish you all good luck in the new year... -👘 our traditional brocade sinh (skirt) and pha bieng (shawl), comes in all colors of the 🌈 rainbow. -🍚 rattan rice baskets for offerings. -⚱️ alms offering bowl, often in gold metal or silver. The one shown is a brass lotus bowl that is listed in my shop. -🙏🏽 the hands represent the grace and dance of traditional Lao dancers. -🌼 flowers, water, and white candles, integral to ceremonial rituals -🐘🐘🐘 three elephants, a representation of our culture and country of Lan Xang (million elephants). - 🙏🏽 and of course, our Buddhist faith . To new beginnings, renewed sense of good health and well being, and for love and light to each and every one of you. Sabaidee Pii Mai 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 __________________________________________________ 🌿🌱 🐘 w h i t e e l e p h a n t c o . 🐘 🌱🌿 www.thewhiteelephantco.com 🐘✨ #whiteelephantco #whiteelephantcorentals #homedecor #vintagehome #vintagelove #vintagedecor #dopevintageshit #inspiremyinstagram #homestyling #instagood #interiordecorating #brocade #textiles #laotextiles #lao #thai #cambodian #songkran #piimai #laonewyear #tlcnewyear #laofamily #buddhist #baskets #laofood #ihavethisthingwithtextiles #laoculture #elephants #brass #allgolderrthang
