Wesak 2008: White elephants carrying Buddha relics.

This movie shows the parade on Wesak, 18/5/2008, in which white elephants bring the Buddha relics to the main hall in Wat Sanghathan. A lot of devotion. Similar to the Christian processions, carrying relics of Jesus or the saints around the area.

is this real white elephant or just painted?

@whatever2005au They use white powder to make them look like a real one because white elephants are highly regarded in Buddhism. But these are definitely fake once.
