The durian charity feast will be celebrated on 24 May at Taungpula Hill near Peik Chin Myaung Cave in Mandalay Region’s PyinOoLwin Township.
It is the third time that the durian free feast has been held, and this time, about 4,500 durians will be served from 7 am to noon on 24 May. “This is the third time that we have donated durians at the Taungpula. We will distribute tokens to all pilgrims along the road to the Taungpula, and they can eat durians when they reach the hill by showing their token,” said Taungpula Sayadaw on his social media page.
Daily free meals are available for all visitors at the hill, with overnight accommodation arranged for pilgrims arriving on 23 May.
Any products are allowed to be sold at the third durian donation.
Taungpula Hill is a well-known tourist attraction in PyinOoLwin, and it receives pilgrims from all regions and states. The number of visitors arriving is usually larger on weekends and significant religious days. Satuditha (food charity) meals are served from morning to evening for pilgrims at the Taungpula, which gives a beautiful scenery of natural landscapes and the sea of clouds.
