[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This Buddist Temple is among the oldest in the city of Kuala Lumpur. A reflection of the freedom to follow one's belief in this multiracial country. She dovoted her life to servitude, leading a simple and spartan life, spending most of her time there, helping, cleaning and attending to the need of those who comes to the temple to offer prayers. She wore the same type of robe everyday. On the day I was out shooting the shrine she was working quickly to clean the area. The temple lies under a huge Angsana tree and the leaves have to be swept daily. On the left of the picture leaning against the wall are the joss stick used in a prayer ceremony and once lighted it will burn for hours. It is big but there are even bigger joss stick ornately decorated with motive of dragons and lotus flowers scented with aromatic perfume.
