Update news Cham ethnic minority
Thousands of people from across the country brought flowers, fruit and other offerings to honor Mother Goddess Thien Y Ana as they attended the Ponagar Tower Festival in Nha Trang, Khanh Hoa Province.
A large number of Cham dignitaries took part in a sacred water procession during the Ponagar Tower Festival in Khanh Hoa province, a ritual held to pray for favorable weather, abundant harvests and prosperity.
Khanh Hoa is home to nationally significant architectural and artistic relics associated with Cham culture, including the Hoa Lai Tower Complex, Po Klong Garai Tower and the Po Nagar Cham Towers.
The Kate Festival of the Cham people is taking place in Khanh Hoa province, offering vibrant colors and a rich cultural atmosphere, with thousands of participants.
Kate Festival showcases Cham heritage through ceremonies, performances, and tourism promotions.
In An Giang, a Cham family passes down the art of brocade weaving, blending tradition, identity, and craftsmanship across five generations.
This unique festival in Nha Trang honors Thien Y Ana and celebrates cultural harmony.
The festival begins with its most significant ritual: the grave-visiting ceremony, where families pay tribute to their ancestors at Cham cemeteries.
Every October, the Cham ethnic minority from around the country, particularly those in the south-central province of Binh Thuan, celebrate the Kate Festival -- one of their biggest and most unique cultural activities.
