Celebrated for 2 days in October starting one day before the Full Moon Day of Thadingyut and the Full Moon Day

People dance in elephant costumes to celebrate this festival. Held in October in Kyaukse, men participate in this dance competition in pairs. Participants would then mimick the movements of an elephant and compete to perform the best elephant dance. The elephant costumes are all hand made using brightly coloured fabric, bamboo and striking glitter. The costumes are created every year, which means no costumes are repeated in any of the performance. In this festival, locals also give offerings and donations to the pagoda and monks.
