Maybe today

In the Temple

I was in Chinatown today and popped into the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple.
They appeared to be in the midst of ceremony, possibly the beginning of Vesak which culminates on May24th (Buddha's birthday).
The monk with the saffron robes (front right) was leading the chanting and there was "choir" of about 40 following his lead. It was very atmospheric, many people were lighting incense and paying homage.
The Temple is 5 stories high and the whole interior is very ornate with red and gold trim everywhere.
I took this photo very quickly, and only when I got did I realise that the camera was a close up setting.....
