This poster features the Wat Si Saket, a Buddhist wat in Vientiane, Laos. Built in 1818, this Buddhist monastery is now the oldest remaining pagoda in Vientiane. The poster depicts the traditional New Year's Day event when many of the over two thousand Buddha statues housed inside the monastery are brought out for a procession.
