Thai worker gives final touch to an ornately-carved bee wax candle depicting scene from the Buddhist mythology in preparation for a candle procession parade to mark the start of the Buddhist Lent, at a temple in the Ubon Ratchathani province, northeastern Thailand, July 28, 2015. The Buddhist Lent or 'Khao Pansa' is a three-month long period beginning on the first day after the full moon of the eight lunar month which this year falls on July 31. Buddhist monks must reside inside their temples to study and meditate. This is also the most auspicious time for Buddhist ordinations since it marks a period of renewed spiritual vigour.
