The annual pagoda festival usually takes place during October, in about 18 days with the big scale. They lay Buddha's images on a beautiful royal barge which is moved around the lake by leg-rowers. There are a large number of boats following the procession. And so many crowds stand on the edges of the lake to celebrate the occasion. If you attend it, you will feel such a magnificent sight.
