The Kathina Festival In New Zealand
A devotee from the Sri Lankan Buddhist community offers prayers during a pirith chanting ceremony ahead of the annual Kathina festival at the Samadhi Buddhist Temple in Rolleston on the outskirts of Christchurch, New Zealand, on November 8, 2023. The Kathina is an annual two-day Buddhist festival that occurs at the end of the three-month rainy season retreat of Theravada Buddhist monks in various countries. Devotees perform a series of special religious activities, with the most important being the Kathina Cheevara Puja, or the offering of robes to monks who have completed their rainy season retreats.
