This photograph taken on April 15, 2019 shows men dressed as the legendary ancestors “Pou Nyer” and “Nyar Nyer” and their guardian lion “Singkheo Singkham” taking part in a procession to mark the Laos New Year or “Pi Mai” celebrations to the Wat Xiengthong Buddhist temple in Luang Prabang. Barefoot and cloaked in swinging bamboo ropes, Laos' legendary masked “ancestor” duo walk the streets of Luang Prabang for their annual outing for raucous new year celebrations that drew hundreds of worshippers to the normally sleepy city this year.
