Coincidentally, the five-colored clouds appeared at the time when the Buddha's relics were enshrined at the Buddhist Exhibition Center on top of Ba Den Mountain.

People can easily see colorful clouds in many different locations when coming to Ba Den mountain on the afternoon of May 8.

The Buddha's relics were brought to Ba Den Mountain for worship, and monks and Buddhists began to pay their respects from 6:00 p.m. on May 8.

Previously, on May 6, five-colored clouds also appeared at Thanh Tam Pagoda (Lonely Buddha Pagoda) at the time when Buddha's relics were enshrined here.

According to folklore, wherever five-colored clouds appear, there is good luck, and according to Buddhist scriptures, wherever there are Buddha relics, there are five-colored clouds.

Responding to Tuoi Tre Online previously, Mr. Le Dinh Quyet - head of the hydrometeorological forecasting department of the Southern region - said that the phenomenon of iridescent clouds in meteorology is classified as an optical phenomenon.

Mr. Dinh Quyet added: "This is not a rare natural phenomenon. Occasionally, this phenomenon occurs in the atmosphere when cloud particles or ice crystals with small individual structures scatter light.

The colors in the clouds at this time are not like the rainbow phenomenon (7 colors) according to the solar spectrum. The iridescent clouds are sometimes pale, sometimes very colorful.

With the rainbow phenomenon, we can only observe it when we turn our backs to the Sun. Rainbows usually appear in the morning or evening with an observation angle of 42 degrees, and often when the rain has just stopped. As for the iridescent cloud phenomenon, we can observe it more widely, in any position."
