Balinese temple architecture is unique and I love how the gates are shaped. The temple was busy as it’s popular but I managed to see this woman alone, offering prayers.

It was so great to see people worshipping at the historical places. The golden color of the silk cloth tells lot about Cambodian culture, I thought.

Interestingly such ritual is common in Hinduism. Vesak Day is also known as Buddha Purnima, a full moon day that marks birth, enlightenment and also death (Final Nirvana) of the Gautama Buddha. Also interesting to see a baby Buddha statue. Both Buddhists and non-Buddhists were performing this ritual.
