There was a Chinese holiday last weekend where they did that. Pchum Benh is more about throwing rice balls for hungry ghosts.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

It helps to read more widely each day.
There was a KH media report, that I probably should have posted a link to, stating that police would be sent in to temples to enforce Covid-19 requirements this Pchum Ben. Obviously some read more widely than others.
