Photo exhibition by Andrei Marhotin "Buddha's Temple on the Neva Banks".

Shooting: 2004 - 2005

The exhibition came out of the author's curiosity tolerated by lamas. Looking on the shooting for several months the lamas let the photographer capture Temple as he saw it…

Dharma Wheel shown up in the Temple's wall,
unconventional Buddha's portrait,
deers listening to the first preaching,
rainwater pipe turned into birch,
birch with a Buddhist flag,
the moon measuring time,
lama reflected in the column,
altar made from small painted boards,
time evidence...
