In the morning at my hometown, monks are going out for alms everyday around 5 AM to 6 AM,They carry their bowl with both hands and close to the belly.The monks walk in straight line one by one. The oldest one or the temple abbot leads the monks. The other one follow by seniority age spent in Buddhist community.
The person waiting in front of their house for giving alms. women, kneeling, or men, standing, put food inside the monk's bowl. They greet the monks through a "WAI" and put food inside the bowl.
We prepare good food that recently cooked rice and also offer curry dishes, sweets, fruits, flowers, incense sticks. We believe giving good allows receiving good deeds and merits.
I usually wake up for giving alms too.This make me fresh and good mood all the day.
