A Myanmar traditional bullock
cart race is being held at the Myat Nyi Naung pagoda festival in Wundwin
Township, Meiktila District in Mandalay Region.
The bullock cart race at the
Myat Nyi Naung pagoda festival is famous in Meiktila District. This is the
reason why local people from Kyaukse District are participating in the bullock
cart race. The pagoda festival commenced on 12 February and will continue till
20 February.
“Locals are interested in the
bullock cart race. There are two types of bullock cart races,” said Ko Thar Dun
Kyaw, a local from Payar Su Village.
The village pagoda festival
is usually held after the harvest time. The Myanmar traditional bullock cart
race is always included in the pagoda festival as a recreational activity and
as a way to showcase the strength and health of oxen, said villagers.
