Pchum Ben

Flower seller

This is the last day of the official three-day public holiday for Pchum Ben.  The most important religious holiday in Cambodia, it is the equivalent of All Souls Day in the West.  This woman is selling lotus flowers and coconuts wrapped with incense and lotus blossoms on the sidewalk in front of the royal palace.  They will be offered in Buddhist ceremonies.
