Witness the Fire King's rain-making ritual firsthand
#Culture
The rain-calling ceremony is the most important ritual performed by the Ptao Apui. The Jrai people in the area influenced by the Ptao Apui believe that the sacred sword is the intermediary, and that the Ptao Apui is the only one who can communicate with the spirits to summon rain to irrigate their fields. Besides the rain-calling ceremony, the Ptao Apui also performs all the important rituals related to the human life cycle and agricultural cultivation cycle.
