Mini Buddha Altars

Description

In the middle of the madness of Singapore's Chinatown, the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple and Museum is a beautiful oasis.The outside is rather unassuming, but once inside, the amount of red with gold leaf is absolutely amazing. With some 10000 Buddha figurines housed in individual mini-altars. As a means to raise funds for the upkeep of the museum devotees are allowed to become donors and sponsor their own mini buddha altars. A look at one of the walls is shown here.
