Локальные особенности проведения фестиваля Рамуван среди вьетнамской религиозной группы чам бани

1. Conclusion

Ramưvan festival of the Cham Bani people in Vietnam is an intangible cultural heritage, conserving many of the Cham traditional cultural values, that have been formed throughout the cultural history of the Cham people. The transformation from the worldwide Islamic holy month of Ramadan into a national folk festival is an interesting cultural phenomenon. It firmly confirms the theory of acculturation. Ramưvan festival holds many layers of culture, the mixing of the exogenous culture (international Islam culture) with endogenous culture (indigenous culture of Southeast Asian wet rice agricultural culture) is an interesting cultural phenomenon, complying with the law of cultural change according to the natural environment and the social context.

Today, in terms of strong culture exchange. Unlike Islam, which is a major religion globally, with an unified organisation, canonical teachings, powerful religious dignitaries and extensive international relations, Bani religion is still only folklore, locality, lacks of organisation, lacks of rigor, so making it vulnerable and easy to be erased by modern cultural trends. Therefore, it is necessary to take measures to preserve the culture of the Bani religion in Vietnam - that is also preserving the cultural identities of Vietnam.
