Thanks to both of you.

Awais, this picture is from the first 'service' I told you about - afterwards the 'boys' in white go outside to be dressed in the saffron robe of the monk. Then - dressed in the saffron robes - they return for another 'service' inside before going on 'bintabat' (the ritual where the monks take their food bowls so that people can gain merit by making donations). Most of the boys are only monks for a few weeks before returning to 'normal' life, but it's a rite of passage that many still follow.
