Khmer Offerings https://journals.worldnomads.com/moniquelf/ Wed, 22 Apr 2026 23:22:07 GMT World Nomads Adventures It's a late Saturday afternoon in Phnom Penh, and along the Tonle Sap River the waterfront is alive with colour and song. This is family hour, Pchum Ben the “gathering together”. A time when locals meet to make offerings to their ancestors, this is a time of reunion, community, commemoration, express love and appreciation. As the sun sets over the river clusters of elderly women sit on concrete benches overlooking the water, peddlers set up stands from which they sell items of offer, lilies, coconuts filled with incents and little finches to be released into the skies. https://journals.worldnomads.com/moniquelf/photos/31982/Worldwide/My-Photo-scholarship-2011-entry Travel Worldwide moniquelf https://journals.worldnomads.com/moniquelf/photos/31982/Worldwide/My-Photo-scholarship-2011-entry#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/moniquelf/photos/31982/Worldwide/My-Photo-scholarship-2011-entry Tue, 8 Nov 2011 09:08:05 GMT 0
