The Waso robe donation ceremony of the relatives of Konbaung dynasty will be held at the Shwe Kyin monastery in Bahan township, in the religious compound donated by King Mindon, on 17 August.
It will be funded by the Lechar Queen’s house and the Pyinsi Suphaya house to hold robe offering event together by royal families.
“Actually, this ceremony is funded by two royal houses – Lechar Queen’s house and Pyinsi Suphaya house. Then, the rest relatives donate money. As we don’t accept cash, they donate in kinds such as robes or meals. As we combine them together, it happens to be a Waso robe donation ceremony of the royal families,” said Htake Tin Sithu Hein (Pyinsi Suphaya House).
In commemoration of late kings, queens, their sons, daughters, relatives, Sawbwas, Dukes, Lords, counsellors, generals of the Konbaung kingdom, and ancestors such as great-grandma Myin Mhu Tin Tin Kyi, Nyaung Oak Htake Tin Si, Myo Kyi Htake Tin San, Thonezel Htake Tin Kyi, and Myingun U Maung, with the special attribute to King Mindon, Lechar Queen, Prince Nyaungyan, Prince Nyaungoak, King Thibaw, and Princess Pyinsi Suphaya, and all parents and grandparents from both sides, the ceremony will be held, led by Nyaungyan Htake Tin Htay.
“This year, we initiated a fund to hold it as a family donation. It will start at 9:00 am on Saturday,” said Htake Tin Sithu Hein.
