Ca Temple Festival - a beautiful spiritual culture in Ha Tinh

The Great Temple - Dinh Do Quan Hoang Muoi, also known as Mo Hac Linh Temple, was built and formed during the Ly Dynasty, over 700 years ago. The temple has a massive architectural scale, the largest in the whole commune, so it is called the Great Temple, worshiping the Lord Hoang Muoi himself. To commemorate the great contributions of the Lord Hoang Muoi and the gods who have protected the villagers from bandits and natural disasters, since ancient times, the people in the area have held festivals to express their gratitude for his achievements, and at the same time pray for national peace and prosperity, good crops, good health, and success in all things.

The festival is held annually in the 10th lunar month, with the main ceremony on the 10th day of the 10th lunar month. During the festival days, there are exciting activities such as the practice of the Vietnamese Mother Goddess worship; the water procession ceremony; the procession of Quan Hoang Muoi; the procession to welcome the Saint; the contest of wrapping and cooking banh chung to offer to the Saint... attracting a large number of people and tourists from all over the country to attend.
