The busy monk in Sri Lanka

For me, it is always mysterious what a monk has to do in a big city. I saw this monk crossing a main road in Colombo. I wonder if he had to go to a bank to get money for the temple. Maybe for a renovation? In Sri Lanka, craftsmen are always paid in cash in the evening for their day's work. Judging by the bag, it must be a major renovation. There were several tropical downpours that day. He carries his umbrella casually tucked under his arm.
