Many of the Buddha images are given offerings, often incense, the smell of which suffuses the temple, or candles, or (as here) lotus blossoms. Open lotus blossoms are a common symbol for enlightenment but in temples the lotus blossoms given in offerings are most often unopened. It is fascinating to notice which images receive offerings while others don't – some mysterious attraction pertaining only to certain statues.
