Tay Nguyen grave rituals - Vietnam Culture
 |
The hut is usually stocked with personal belongings of the dead. Two or there years afterwards, family members remove the hut and buil a new, larger wooden house. The grave-house is surrounded with a fence, and at the front is a wooden statue in the likeness os a human, bird or animal.
The practive of removing the make-shift hut, a ritual called le bo ma, is usually organised in the spring and is considered a festive day. Villagers gather at the cemetery grounds and the family members bring food offerings. After the offerings are given to the deceased, villagers sing songs, dance and enjoy the food and drink taken down from the altar. They have the belief that the deceased return to join the feast with the liveing.
