Rites will be performed on festive days, including the Statue of the Lady washing rite and a statue procession.

The Ba Chua Xu Festival is one of the biggest religious events in the South.

In southern Vietnamese culture, the Lady is a protector of the Vietnamese border and a tutelary of prosperity and health.

The Lady of the Realm Festival on Chau Doc's Sam Mountain is held from the 23rd to the 27th day of the fourth lunar month, with the main rituals performed on the 25th.
