Wesak Procession 2012

The procession vehicles and devotees were gathered at the Buddhist Maha Vihara Temple, Brickfields, Kuala Lumpur.

Tens of thousand of devotees believed visiting the temple these few days.

Last year we waited at Kuala Lumpur city center, and the procession was late for more than an hour.

So this year I visited the starting point of the procession.

It was much easier to get close to the ‘flower vehicles’ when they are stationary.

More than 10+ Buddhist societies from the region were joining this largest Wesak procession in Kuala Lumpur.

Dusk was approaching and the parade started sharp on 7:30pm. The following image was taken with Dramatic Art filter to capture the twilight.

Wishing peace on earth with the blessing of these cute young monks.
