Laos' traditional Bunpimay New Year takes place until April 16, in which bathing the Buddha is one of the important rituals and an indispensable activity.
These days in the capital Vientiane, the streets seem to be wearing a “new coat” of golden yellow and filled with the colors of Dokkhoun flowers, the flower that signals the arrival of the New Year in the Land of a Million Elephants. The grounds of the temples are also decorated with flags and colorful flowers. The Buddha statues are brought out by monks and placed in the yard for people and tourists to perform the Buddha bathing ceremony. Photo: VNA.
