Details of the altar with endless gifts of fruits and flowers. At the top Buddha Shakyamuni is seated. In front of him amidst flowers stands a figure of Siddhartha (to become Buddha later). His finger points upwards to the moon, symbol of enlightenment and admonition to strive for enlightenment. To the right, seated on a green lion, is Bodhisattva Manjushri, with book and lute symbol for wisdom and grace. Photo at the Vesakh festival, May 1999.
