PHUKET: The Phuket Vegetarian Festival continued this morning (Oct 13) as devotees and Ma Song spirit mediums from Kathu Shrine, the spiritual home and origin of the festival, held their street procession to the Chinese shrine at Saphan Hin.

 

The procession left Kathu Shrine at 5am under the ‘new normal’ protocols this year by using vehicles instead of walking and with no face piercings.

 

Kathu Shrine is where the vegetarian festival was observed for the first time, in 1825. Over the past 196 years devotees at the shrine have adhered to the observing the original traditions of the festival.
