Flaich
Flaich or Oo-khayong is an annual festival of flowers celebrated during the month of Ashad. It may be held on different dates at various places. Hill tops near villages are selected for the celebrations. People leave their homes and go to the predetermined place to which the village deity is also carried out in a procession, accompanied by at least one member of every household.
