Buddisht Lent celebration at Erawan Museum

A glimpse of one of Khao Phansa, also named Buddhist Lent, celebration that took place on 26th of July at the Erawan Museum in Samut Prakan, near Bangkok, Thailand.

The ceremony marks the beginning of the Buddhist “rain retreat” and the Buddhist Lent, or “Phansa”, during which all Buddhist monks retreat to the temples. This is also an auspicious time for Buddhist ordinations as it marks a period of spiritual renewal.
