Religious Festivities


Our guesthouse at night

The religious festival of Thadingyut was occurring while we were in Mrauk U.  During the day there were many women and men dressed in traditional colours, visiting the temples.  At night, homes, businesses, streets, and the old place walls were illuminated with candlelight.  It was truly magical.  As a bonus, there was lunar eclipse that night!

Sat in on a sermon for a little bit

Palace walls illuminated with candlelight

They even put candles on the trees
