The ritual, an offering to the God of Earth and the God of Grains to petition for favorable weather and bumper crops, appeared on the Hue Festival program for the first time.

The Hue Festival Organizing Board described the event as a chance to honor the country’s traditional cultural values.

To prepare for the ceremony, Thua Thien-Hue Province restored the Xa Tac altar which was built in 1806 during King Gia Long’s reign.
