Kathin Chibor Dan (Kathina robe offering) is one of the most important ceremonies of Theravada Buddhism. After the three-month rains retreat (Vassa) ends on Prabarana Purnima, devotees offer robes (chibor) and requisites to the monks of a vihara. Each vihara can hold it only once a year, within one month after the retreat.
In 2026 Kathin Chibor Dan ceremonies take place from 26 October to 24 November 2026. Nandan's Chibordan page lists 744+ viharas with the date of each ceremony.
Open the Chibordan 2026 page, search by vihar name or place, or tap a date (Today, Tomorrow or any day). Every entry has a Map and a Directions button that opens Google Maps.
