Shamanpriests and
Karen
hill tribe people perform a ritual to consecrate a new
spirit house,
in which
the lead shaman blows an
animal horn and the other carries a
circular
talaew
(fig.)
over his shoulder,
whilst waking in a circle
ceremonially, akin to a
thaksinahwat
(fig.).
The other participants
carry offerings, such as
flower arrangements known as
bai sri
(fig.),
vegetables, fruit, liquor, and
elephant hooks
called
kho chang (fig.).
