Get festive for Tet at Cham cultural center
The Cham Cultural Exhibition Center in Binh Thuan Province will host a week of cultural events for Tet (Lunar New Year) from January 30 to February 8. The highlight of the program is the exhibition of royal costumes of the Cham imperial family.
See what the Cham kings, queen, princes and princess were wearing – including crowns, seals and swords and betel nut making sets.
Also see costumes, musical instruments, objects and products that Cham people used in festivals.
Apart from exhibits of traditional craft villages like brocade weaving and ceramics, the center will also display farming tools such as buffalo carts, fish traps and stone jewelries plus a collection of stone statues of Aspara dancers, Genesa, Avalo Kitecvara Gods, a lion, Linga-Yoni and many documents written in Cham language.
Brocade weavers and pottery makers will demonstrate for visitors, so guests can join contests. Learn how to cook at Cham cake making displays or just enjoy a free cake.
Rija Nugar ( New Year Festival) and folk artistic performances will be on every night during the festival week.
The Cham artist troupe from Bac Binh District will perform Saranai pan-pipe, Yin-Yang couple dance, Po Jija dance, Vai Chai singing and many kinds of ethnic Cham dance and singing.
The center is in Phan Hiep Commune, Bac Binh District, Phan Thiet City
