Shin-Pyu Procession |
|
Shin-Pyu Procession In Pan Myang, a small village five kilometers far from Mrauk U where I was invited by a young burmse boy I met in Mrauk U.
This is one of the most popular buddhist traditions, when one boy is initiated into Buddhist Order as a novice, and being able to see it in a modest way in this small village was an amazing experience.
