Enter the Buddha chamber

Posted by Jeremie (Brooklyn, New York, United States) on 2 September 2008 in Lifestyle & Culture.

The impressive gate of the 14th century Gadaladeniya buddist temple, near Kandy, Sri Lanka. This massive painted wooden gate opens with a grinding sound on a 5-meters tall golden Buddha, sitting in the lotus position.

As I am moving in a new apartment this week end, I will have no access to Internet for few days and will therefore not be able to reply to your comments. However, photographs will still be posted everydays. I will try to catch up with you once I am back on the World Wide Web. See you soon!
