About Yadana Gu Spirit Festival
Yadana Gu Spirit Festival is one of the biggest gatherings of spirit mediums in Myanmar. Thousands gather for this eight-day festival in the small town of Amarapura outside of Mandalay to honor the pantheon of animist spirits called Nats that are infused with Myanmar’s Buddhist culture. The celebration is led by hundreds of spirit mediums who are said to be possessed by the Nats during the ceremonies.
Spirit medium rituals dance and sing with the traditional Burmese orchestra because the festival people offer food, flowers, liquor and money to nuts. The Yadana Gu Spirit Festival is usually held in August. In Myanmar, a traditional Buddhist lunar calendar is used to determine festival dates, which can shift several weeks each year due to the phases of the moon. If you’re interested in attending this animist ritual, it’s best to plan in advance can make the appropriate arrangements and confirm the dates of the festival.
King Anawrahta, unable to stamp out animism, enshrined a pantheon of 37 Nat spirits into the numerous Buddhist temples he commissioned in the 11th century to draw new devotees to the newly adopted state religion of Buddhism. Cultural followers find Yadana Gu Spirit Festival to be a fascinating opportunity to witness ancient animists traditions that predate the expansion of Buddhism into the region that is today called Myanmar.
