About Watch Buddhist monks gathering alms

Witness a heartwarming spectacle in Bagan along Nyaung U Road from Thante Hotel to the Shwezigon Pagoda, where monks and nuns gather for alms. Arriving at 07:00, you can see monks in burgundy vests, including young ones parading barefoot, led by an announcer. The baldheaded nuns, distinguished by pink robes, orange skirts, and beige-ochre towels, collect alms using woven cane trays and receive a spoonful of uncooked rice from each donor.
