PhnomPenh 007

14 MARCH 2006 - PHNOM PENH, CAMBODIA: People crowd into a small pagoda in front of the Royal Palace in Phnom Penh, Cambodia to pray. The pagoda serves as the "spirit house" of the palace. The Cambodians (and Thais) build small spirit houses, which have great religious significance, in front of the homes and usually businesses. They pray at the spirit homes and frequently leave small offerings of fruit and small change in them. The spirit house for the Palace has become a public shrine and there are usually people there praying, leaving donations and lighting incense. Photo by Jack Kurtz / ZUMA Press
