HRH Princess Bejaratana's 50th day of passing
Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra yesterday morning led officials and the public to offer alms to 10 Buddhist hierophants and 186 Buddhist monks at Bangkok's Sanam Luang to mark the 50th day of HRH Princess Bejaratana's passing.
His Serene Highness Prince Chalermsuk Yugala yesterday presided over the food-offering ritual at Wat Ratchasittharam and Wat Phrachetupon for monks who had performed the Abidhamma sermon, while Mom Rajawongse Worawallop Worawan presided over the lunch-offering ritual at Wat Bovornniwet and Wat Mahathat. In the evening, the royal ritual and sermon were held to mark the 50th day of HRH Princess Bejaratana's passing.
After HRH Princess Bejaratana had passed over on July 27, His Majesty the King instructed the Bureau of Royal Household to organise funeral ceremonies according to tradition while the princess lay in state at the Dusit Mahaprasart Throne Hall. A merit making and Abidhamma sermon would be held on November 3 to mark the 100th day of the princess's passing.
