The central part of the main building has a glass wall that span from the floor and across the ceiling. 

You can see the stupa of Mahabodhi Temple nearby through the front glass.

The “Buddha’s Universe Pilgrimage” painting was installed on the wall adjacent to this magnificent view.

The temple staff used an elaborate structure of two stacked tables that they then climbed to accurately hang the two paintings. Without using any rulers, the paintings were hung seemingly perfectly.

At the end, they nailed a metal plate from the sponsoring group we had brought from Japan to the wall.

After everyone took a commemorative photo of this final scene, our own pilgrimage to Bodh Gaya was finally complete.
