Description
Pictured is an ancestral altar in the home of the mayor of Phong Nam, a traditional rice farming village in Vietnam. It contains many symbols of Buddhism including lotus flower lamps, a small male guardian line atop the prayer urn, images of dragons wrapped around poles, a crane holding a fish, and Jasso incense sticks. Virtually all Vietnamese have a family altar in their home, and practice at least some of the rituals in the Cult of Ancestors.
