EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the vibrant and spiritual atmosphere of the Mass ordination of monks during the Poy Sang Long Festival in Thailand. The image showcases a large crowd, adorned in colorful traditional costumes, celebrating this significant Buddhist event with great enthusiasm. The procession is led by young boys, aged between 5 to 10 years old, who are about to be ordained as novice monks. They carry beautifully decorated umbrellas while marching through the streets, symbolizing their commitment to embracing a life dedicated to spirituality and religious teachings. Amidst the sea of people, both locals and tourists alike can be seen captivated by this mesmerizing spectacle. The photograph perfectly encapsulates the essence of Thai culture and its deep-rooted connection with Buddhism. The festival exudes an aura of festivity and joy as families come together to witness this sacred ritual. It serves as a reminder of the strong sense of community that exists within Thai society and highlights their unwavering devotion towards their religious beliefs. Alain Evrard/Robert Harding's photography skillfully captures every detail – from the intricate costumes worn by participants to the expressions on their faces – allowing viewers to immerse themselves in this cultural experience even if they were not physically present at that moment. Overall, this print is a testament to both Thailand's rich heritage and its enduring spiritual traditions.
