Pellucid Devotion

 
A monk, patiently lights the beautiful set up of holy diyas / lamps for a ritual, from inside a glass window, which overlooks the pagodas and shrines.
 
This is a sacred ritual in Buddhism. This ritual, known as 'Deepa Jyoti Parabrahma' or 'Oil Lamp Ritual', signifies the divine as the source of all knowledge and the remover of ignorance. The light from the diya is said to represent the spiritual purity and wisdom that dispels the darkness of the material world.
