Retinue for relics
A procession transports the relics of the Lord Buddha and his chief disciples — Sariputra and Moggallana — from the National Museum to the ceremonial pavilion at Sanam Luang. The parade included flower-festooned vehicles and performances from Thailand, India and various ethnic groups. The relics will be displayed at Sanam Luang from today until March 3, before being exhibited in Chiang Mai, Ubon Ratchathani and Krabi. The relics came from India. (Photos: Nutthawat Wichieanbut)
