Dawn Alms Giving in Luang Prabang Laos with Monks and Local Devotion

by Kristina Fitzpatrick

Soft first light of dawn falls through the dense tropical canopy along the paved streets of Luang Prabang, Laos. A continuous line of saffron-robed Buddhist monks walks silently toward the Mekong River, their bare feet touching the cool pavement. Local residents stand in orderly rows along the roadside, holding small woven baskets filled with sticky rice and pastries to offer to the procession. The morning mist hangs low over the river in the distance, partially obscuring the golden spires of a nearby temple. The quiet, daily ritual of merit-making, with the monks’ robes contrasting against the muted grey of the early morning sky and the green foliage of the surrounding jungle.
