The Hta \u2013ma \u2013ne Festival (February)<\/span><\/h3>\n

It is the name given to the harvest festival at the time of the year in February, the eleventh month of the Burmese calendar. The name hta-ma-ne is\u00a0 given to a mixture of glutinous rice, sessamun seeds, peanuts, coconut slices, garlic slices \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0and a generous amount of oil, etc. In fact, everything that is yielded by the harvest is put into the mixture. How the mixture is made is a separate subject.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Enough to say that the hta-ma-ne party is a kind of come-one \u2013and \u2013come-all and take-away\u00a0 party. That is the true spirit of hta-ma-ne party. Everyone is invited and those not invited can come too.<\/div>\n

I received a portion of hta-ma-ne from the \u2018Three Pagodas Monastery\u2019 of our neighbor street. They distributed their hta-ma-nes all their neighbors on the full moon day of Ta-po-dwe (February). I was about to go there, and took some video of their day-work of Hta-ma-ne making. I was lucky that I got their effort and happy mood. Now, I wanted to share my \u2018Hta-ma-ne\u2019 brief video to public, and hope my friends will enjoy it.<\/div>\n
