Royal Ploughing Ceremony (Bon Chroat Preah Nongkoal) in Cambodia is a traditional event with deep cultural and spiritual significance. This ancient ritual marks the beginning of the rice-growing season and is a symbol of good fortune and prosperity for the upcoming harvest.

The ceremony is presided over by the King of Cambodia, along with government officials, diplomats, and local farmers. It is a colorful and vibrant event, filled with tradition...
