They have their own characteristics and different cultural patterns. The objectives of this paper are to understand the ritual, religious beliefs and practices related to their socio\u0002economic life. The study area is Hlaing Kabar Village Tract, Hpa-an Township, Kayin State. The study was conducted with qualitative research methods: key informant interview (KII), in\u0002depth interview (IDI) and direct observation, participant observations were conducted to collect data. The religious rituals and traditional ritual are celebrated every month of their own calendar. In these festive months, the above mentioned festivities are respectively held in the villages, townships and states. Poe Kayin people hold traditional rituals in every season based upon their different assumptions. Among them, Du wei adherents used to pray and say oath at Du wei traditional secret place of Hlaing Kabar village. Du wei bonfire is one of the traditions of Poe Kayin. Du wei bonfire is called \u201cMee Si Taing\u201d in Poe Kayin language and \u201cMee Pon Pwe\u201d in Myanmar language. In fact, Du wei bonfire is based on religious belief of East Poe Kayin people. The purpose of celebrating bonfire is to wipe off bad omens, misfortune and evils. They believe that bad omens and evils are to be gone with the fire. The traditional bonfire is celebrated by Poe Kayin and non Kayin to avert impending misfortune. Everyone can participate in this ritual regardless of age and sex. According to study, Du wei traditional practices play a key role in the life of Poe Kayin race. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key words:<\/strong> ritual, religion, belief, practice, function<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"core\/file\" class=\"wp-block-file\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!state.hasPdfPreview\" hidden class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/mahar.asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Theingi-Soe-1-1.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:900px\" aria-label=\"Embed of Theingi-Soe-1-1.\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-7279de34-6709-408b-b505-9b78d87ed879\" href=\"https:\/\/mahar.asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Theingi-Soe-1-1.pdf\">Theingi-Soe-1-1<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/mahar.asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Theingi-Soe-1-1.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-7279de34-6709-408b-b505-9b78d87ed879\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Original Source: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dagonuniversity.edu.mm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Theingi-Soe-1-1.pdf\">Theingi-Soe-1-1.pdf (dagonuniversity.edu.mm)<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dagonuniversity.edu.mm\/believes-and-practices-of-du-wei-bonfire\/\">Believes and practices of Du wei bonfire | Dagon University, Myanmar<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-footnotes\"><li id=\"4c5ce8b3-4aed-43de-865b-8be588ae3d31\">Dr., Lecturer, Department of Anthropology, Dagon University <a href=\"#4c5ce8b3-4aed-43de-865b-8be588ae3d31-link\" aria-label=\"Jump to footnote reference 1\">\u21a9\ufe0e<\/a><\/li><\/ol><div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div><p id=\"pvc_stats_4869\" class=\"pvc_stats all  \" data-element-id=\"4869\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.0\" viewBox=\"0 0 502 315\" preserveAspectRatio=\"xMidYMid meet\"><g transform=\"translate(0,332) scale(0.1,-0.1)\" fill=\"\" stroke=\"none\"><path d=\"M2394 3279 l-29 -30 -3 -207 c-2 -182 0 -211 15 -242 39 -76 157 -76 196 0 15 31 17 60 15 243 l-3 209 -33 29 c-26 23 -41 29 -80 29 -41 0 -53 -5 -78 -31z\"\/><path d=\"M3085 3251 c-45 -19 -58 -50 -96 -229 -47 -217 -49 -260 -13 -295 52 -53 146 -42 177 20 16 31 87 366 87 410 0 70 -86 122 -155 94z\"\/><path d=\"M1751 3234 c-13 -9 -29 -31 -37 -50 -12 -29 -10 -49 21 -204 19 -94 39 -189 45 -210 14 -50 54 -80 110 -80 34 0 48 6 76 34 21 21 34 44 34 59 0 14 -18 113 -40 219 -37 178 -43 195 -70 221 -36 32 -101 37 -139 11z\"\/><path d=\"M1163 3073 c-36 -7 -73 -59 -73 -102 0 -56 133 -378 171 -413 34 -32 83 -37 129 -13 70 36 67 87 -16 290 -86 209 -89 214 -129 231 -35 14 -42 15 -82 7z\"\/><path d=\"M3689 3066 c-15 -9 -33 -30 -42 -48 -48 -103 -147 -355 -147 -375 0 -98 131 -148 192 -74 13 15 57 108 97 206 80 196 84 226 37 273 -30 30 -99 39 -137 18z\"\/><path d=\"M583 2784 c-38 -19 -67 -74 -58 -113 9 -42 211 -354 242 -373 16 -10 45 -18 66 -18 51 0 107 52 107 100 0 39 -1 41 -124 234 -80 126 -108 162 -133 173 -41 17 -61 16 -100 -3z\"\/><path d=\"M4250 2784 c-14 -9 -74 -91 -133 -183 -95 -150 -107 -173 -107 -213 0 -55 33 -94 87 -104 67 -13 90 8 211 198 130 202 137 225 78 284 -27 27 -42 34 -72 34 -22 0 -50 -8 -64 -16z\"\/><path d=\"M2275 2693 c-553 -48 -1095 -270 -1585 -649 -135 -104 -459 -423 -483 -476 -23 -49 -22 -139 2 -186 73 -142 361 -457 571 -626 285 -228 642 -407 990 -497 242 -63 336 -73 660 -74 310 0 370 5 595 52 535 111 1045 392 1455 803 122 121 250 273 275 326 19 41 19 137 0 174 -41 79 -309 363 -465 492 -447 370 -946 591 -1479 653 -113 14 -422 18 -536 8z m395 -428 c171 -34 330 -124 456 -258 112 -119 167 -219 211 -378 27 -96 24 -300 -5 -401 -72 -255 -236 -447 -474 -557 -132 -62 -201 -76 -368 -76 -167 0 -236 14 -368 76 -213 98 -373 271 -451 485 -162 444 86 934 547 1084 153 49 292 57 452 25z m909 -232 c222 -123 408 -262 593 -441 76 -74 138 -139 138 -144 0 -16 -233 -242 -330 -319 -155 -123 -309 -223 -461 -299 l-81 -41 32 46 c18 26 49 83 70 128 143 306 141 649 -6 957 -25 52 -61 116 -79 142 l-34 47 45 -20 c26 -10 76 -36 113 -56z m-2057 25 c-40 -58 -105 -190 -130 -263 -110 -324 -59 -707 132 -981 25 -35 42 -64 37 -64 -19 0 -241 119 -326 174 -188 122 -406 314 -532 468 l-58 71 108 103 c185 178 428 349 672 473 66 33 121 60 123 61 2 0 -10 -19 -26 -42z\"\/><path d=\"M2375 1950 c-198 -44 -350 -190 -395 -379 -18 -76 -8 -221 19 -290 114 -284 457 -406 731 -260 98 52 188 154 231 260 27 69 37 214 19 290 -38 163 -166 304 -326 360 -67 23 -215 33 -279 19z\"\/><\/g><\/svg><\/i> <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Loading\" data-src=\"https:\/\/mahar.asia\/wp-content\/plugins\/page-views-count\/ajax-loader-2x.gif\" border=0 src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 16px;
