How to make a floating Pratip
Join our Water Festival Workshop!
In this cultural session, you’ll learn how to make ប្រទិត (Pratip) — the beautiful floating light boat — and discover the meaning behind បណ្តែតប្រទិត (floating Pratip) during the Water Festival.
You’ll explore why Khmer people float Pratip as an offering to the Water Goddess, to thank her for providing life, food, and prosperity throughout the year. It’s a time to show gratitude, make wishes, and celebrate unity under the moonlit sky.
