How was the hom dai performed?

Hom dai, a traditional Thai ceremonial practice, involved the use of fragrant herbs and flowers, which were often mixed with rice or other offerings. The process typically included preparing the materials with care, arranging them aesthetically, and then presenting them at a sacred site or altar. Participants would often chant or pray during the offering to honor the spirits or deities, seeking blessings for health and prosperity. The ritual emphasized respect for nature and the importance of community ties.
