The soft drizzle added a calm, almost meditative charm to the entire atmosphere. As I stepped into the temple grounds, the scent of rain on the stone pathways and incense in the air created a peaceful, spiritual aura that was truly unforgettable.
The architecture of the temple stood out against the misty sky — vibrant reds, golds, and ornate carvings glistened with raindrops. Despite the weather, everything felt warm and welcoming. The Buddha statues in the main hall exuded serenity, and the rain made the moment feel more intimate and reflective. I found myself slowing down, taking in every detail with gratitude.

It truly adds something special to...
