Wesak Day in Sibu

sibu buddhist lodge

Opening ceremony. In case you are wondering what is happening, the VIPs are trying to break the balloons with a needle :) . It was a joyous occasion with smiles all over.

    The color of the balloons is so striking! It’s pink! :O …probably that is to match the color of lotus flower ?
