Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Buddhist novitiation ceremony in Mandalay, Myanmar (Burma). The initiation of boys to Theravada Buddhism is an important event that is celebrated in a colorful way. It is considered the most important duty that parents owe to their sons. The boys are dressed in a traditional prince attire, almost always wearing make-up. They are led through the village on horseback accompanied by an orchestral band, and later accompanied by their families and relatives, visit the local temple. The procession symbolises Prince Siddharta's departure from the royal palace, leaving behind his family and a life of luxury in search of the Four Noble Truths.
