The History of Floating Water Lanterns

The History of Floating Water Lanterns

3/24/2016

Wish lanterns from Birando are the perfect way to create ambient lighting for any evening occasion. Each Floating Water Lantern can be quickly and easily assembled before you send it off into the night sky. Our design is a modern take on the original floating water lanterns that were used at the Loi Krathong festival which takes place annually in Thailand, a tradition which dates back hundreds of years.

The legend dates back to over seven hundred years ago in the beautiful kingdom of Sukhothai. Once a year all the local people would make small little lanterns and float them down the river in honor of the Buddha.

A lady with great skill named Naang Noparamart was working in the royal palace. She loved to make little lotus-shaped "Krathong" with banana leaves and float them on the water with a candle, incense, and other decorations as a special present to Buddha. On this day the King came to the river to judge the water lanterns and awarded Naang Noparamart first prize. He then decided that once a year there should be an official celebration where lotus-shaped banana leaves, like the ones Naang had made, would be floated down the river on full moon.

Today the tradition is now celebrated with wish lanterns, fireworks and floating water lanterns to become one of the most well-known festivals in Thailand. The floating water lanterns represent life and new beginnings.

Each of our floating water lanterns come in packs of two and are 100% biodegradable. Our lanterns stand 10 inches high and 5.5 inches wide. The flameproof rice paper means that this product is safe and won’t catch on fire when on the water.

Here at Birando, we know how to party. Our range of floating water lanterns, wish lanterns and wish stars add a touch of elegance to any party. To check out the full range of products why not head over to our website.
