Also in the past, on some social networks, clips have appeared recording some singing and dancing scenes in the Ponagar Tower area.

Along with the compliments, there are many questions and controversies from readers about the appearance of the dancing characters at Ponagar Tower.

There are even scenes where characters transform into tigers and monks in style.

In response to these controversies, a representative of the Khanh Hoa Provincial Monuments Conservation Center informed that the singing dance images shared on social networks were held in the "prosecution" section of the Ponagar Tower Festival.

Songs and dances have been performed for many years. Folk religious groups call these performances "Mother's offering", "ball dance", not "combat" as some information on social networks.

These are the "happy dance for Mother" singing and dancing performances during the festival.

The "ceremony" was held before the "feast", with a serious incense offering ceremony, without no noisy singing and dancing activities.
