As the sun rises in Luang Prabang around 200 Buddhist monks depart from their various temples to gather their daily meal. It is a solemn ritual and completely authentic, where both monks and the faithful continue a centuries-old tradition. #LuangPrabang #Laos #Buddhist #takbat #ritual #solemn
As monks file past the line of alms-givers - who are usually sitting or kneeling on the street - the monk`s bowls are reverently filled with handfuls of sticky rice or bananas. It's one of the most vivid images of Laos - from 5:30 in the morning onward, silent lines of saffron-clad monks walk down the streets of Luang Prabang to collect alms.

I was ashamed to be here today. A young girl in a short skirt and low-cut top runs to the front of the line. Her camera flashes are blinding the monks. Another lady touches a monk as she puts her arm around him to take a selfie. He recoils at the transgression. Some of the locals and the monks are considering canceling this age old tradition.

A young monk files past an alms-giver - who is sitting on a stool. The monk`s bowl is reverently filled with handfuls of sticky rice or bananas. The locals sit or kneel. I was told not to position myself higher than the monks' heads. The best rice for the tak bat ritual is prepared by the alms-givers themselves. The locals wake up early to prepare a batch of sticky rice, which they then scoop generously into each monk's bowl as the line files past.
