Woman Sitting In Front Of An Altar

Shot at Xingji Temple in Tainan, Taiwan.

Same as other temples in this country, there were many altars in the precinct and many deities were enshrines. Of course, I couldn't discriminate which deity was enshrined. Yet it didn't matter. I was satisfied by feeling the religious atmosphere.

A woman was sitting on a chair which was placed in front of an alter. She had a sutra in her hands. She seemed to be reading there. Most of the people kneeled when they came to the alters. Yet she was sitting on the chair and didn't have any incense sticks. She looked as if she was studying there.
