(Vesak Pandol)

Greetings everyone,

I hope you are all well. I am happy to be able to post again after a busy few days. Today I am sharing with you an amazing video and a beautiful picture. Last month, May, is a very important month for us Buddhists. Every year, Vesak Poya falls in May. So, to mark the Vesak week, Vesak lanterns, Vesak pandals and many other events are organized in almost every part of the country.

So last month we also went to see the vesak pandal and the lanterns. The picture above shows a spectacular picture of the vesak pandal that we went to see. This Vesak pandal is created based on the past stories of the Lord Buddha. The vesak pandal shown above will show one such Jataka story.

Now let's see what a deadly well is. A deadly well is a large well made of wood. It is made of wood in a cylindrical shape. From the center of this well, two drivers ride a bicycle and a motorcycle and demonstrate their skills.

The people who come to watch this spectacle are on the upper platform and the two drivers are performing various feats by riding bicycles from the bottom of the well to the top. Usually, such spectacles can be seen during various festivals such as circuses and Vesak festivals. I felt very scared when I saw this. Because the young man riding the motorcycle was riding the motorcycle without holding hands, and covering his face. His action was praised by all the spectators.

We had to buy a ticket to see this spectacle, and each ticket cost $1. Many people were there to see the spectacle of the deadly well, and the spectacle lasted for 10 minutes. The two young men who performed were brothers, and they displayed their skills without any fear. So the people watching threw money from top to bottom to appreciate their talent.

You can clearly see what I explained in this 9-minute video.


Thanks for reading
