Sri Lankan Novice Buddhist Monks

A Sri Lankan boy reacts as his shaved-head is applied with Lime by a Buddhist monk in preparation for a ceremony to be ordained as novice Buddhist monks (samanera) in Colombo, Sri Lanka on Sunday 29 April 2018 which also marks the Vesak full moon poya day, celebrated by Buddhists to mark three momentous events in Lord Buddha's life – his birth, enlightenment, and his departure from the human world.
