In the hanamido\, stands a statue of the infant Buddha\, with his right hand pointing toward the heavens and his left hand towards the earth. People pour sweet tea over the Buddha statue. The pouring of tea represents the gentle rain that was said to have fallen in Lumbini Garden when Siddhartha was born. This re-enactment of the Buddha’s birth signifies the happiness that filled the world at this event.
