Projects: Bonn Om Teuk

A monk chants a prayer surrounded by buddhists, in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, on Sunday, Nov. 1, 2009. This year the water festival also coincide with the full moon of the Buddhist calendar month of "kadeuk", which Cambodians believe that a full moon promises a bountiful harvest. Special food is prepared for this occasion - fruits, vegetables and fish amok, a uniquely Cambodian speciality. Candles are lit, incense burnt and offerings made.
