Day 1 Of Ashes Ceremony

Some of the ahe ashes of late King Norodom Sihanouk, deceased in Beijing on October 15th 2012, will be transferred from the Royal Palace to a stupa within the compound.

About 1,000 buddhist monks received alms in front of the palace , before entering through the side door and starting a 3-day long ceremony.

The opposition CNRP paid respect to the late King at his memorial monument at the same time. Missed that… Didn’t know… Should have known…

Reminder: my e-book about King Norodom Sihanouk, with texts by Abby Seiff and Pierre Gillette, is available on iTunes at THIS LINK for the modest sum of 3.99$US.
