Predawn Street Life in Luang Prabang Laos Monks Alms Giving Ritual
by Jeanne Wood
The predawn darkness envelops the narrow streets of Luang Prabang, Laos, broken only by the soft glow of lanterns carried by saffron-robed Buddhist monks. They walk in a silent, orderly procession along the wet pavement, their robes contrasting sharply with the deep blue shadows of the surrounding colonial-era shophouses. Local residents, wrapped in warm blankets against the morning chill, stand in small clusters near the doorways, holding woven bamboo baskets filled with sticky rice. The quiet intensity of the daily alms-giving ritual, with steam rising from the baskets and the faint outline of the Mekong River visible in the distance.
