Every morning, hundreds of monks from the various monasteries walk through the streets collecting alms. The atmosphere is solemn and the spiritualism is palpable. The monks walk in single file without uttering a word. They slow down briefly, just enough to lower there bowl in front of the devotes lining the streets. These in turn place a handful of food, usually sticky rice in the bowl. Not as a sigh of charity, but as an act of faith, in the hope that by helping the monks they will be rewarded spiritually.
