Happy Wesak Day!


There were more tourists at the Maha Vihara temple this year, and the place was packed with photographers.

  1. Happy Wesak Day!

    I was covering a function for Wesak Day yesterday at one of the main temples in Kuching and it was really an eye-opener for me! I enjoyed myself, though. I love how the temple was filled with candles and the statues were magnificent!

  4. The colours in the last few images here are very striking. I'd love to see something like this in person one day.

    1. You should, SOTC! Temples are always packed with devotees (and tourists!) so just walk in! ;)
