one day, we came upon a housing-blessing ceremony, called a lakh, which is the indian word for 100,000, because the monks recite their blessing 100,000 times. they were fine with our being in there, so eleven of us spent approximately 40 minutes in these cramped rooms, shooting away happily. apparently, we're not supposed to reproduce the text on the scrolls, so if you're looking at these photos, you should probably watch out for falling pianos or dengue-bearing mosquitos.
