Monks from the Kong Meng San Phor Kark See Monastery - Singapore

A close up of two of the Buddhist Monks leading the procession around
the Kong Meng San Phor Kark See Monastery. There is a group of hundreds
of people following. They all take 3 steps & then drop all the way
to the ground.


This is in honour of Vesak Day (also known as Buddha Day).


It is extremly hot & humid in the Equatorial climate and this is hard work! If you look LARGE On Black you can see the sweat on the Monks!


You can see a wider shot of the scene & more people HERE





Please look at my Interestingness page





See where this picture was taken. [?]
