The shrine room with the richly decorated main altar, placed on first floor of the house. The altar has the statues of Buddha Amitabha in front, followed middle by the statue of Siddhartha with his right hand finger pointing moon-wise and at the back the largest statue of Buddha Shakyamuni seated in meditation. Typically, the altar is decorated by numerous flowers, metaphor for transitoriness and various paraphernalia. Photo at the Ullambana festival, Barntrup, August 1999.
