Wat Si Muang
People are sitting with the monk in order to be blessed. On the RHS rear a woman is shaking sticks from a box in some sort of good luck ritual.
In the next chamber of this temple, centre stage is the city pillar,, draped in white cloth.This was installed here when the King moved the Capital to Vientiane in 1563. It is surroumded by Buddha statues and people bring the offerings to the city spirit.
Here an old man is pouring water around the "boss" of this drum for good fortune. The water in being collected as it runs off the drum and family members were bottling it. He was very particular about how it was done.
