Nepalese exhibits
Hands-on corner --- try the Singing Bowl and enjoy making your own tone.
Experience the Unyo when entering the Pavilion.
Unyo is a ritual where you go around the building clockwise, turning the 108 Mani wheels and come back to the entrance and enter from the left side.
About the decorum
In India, the ritual of Unyo-Sanso is considered the highest ritual of worship.
The Right side of the body is called Jyoshin-jyoken (means holy body, holy shoulder --- the right hand is considered as Buddha's hand), the left Fujyo (means unholiness --- the left hand is considered as human hand), and therefore the left shoulder is covered by a surplice or a robe while the right shoulder is revealed. Consequently if you go around clockwise your Jyoshin will be facing the holy site and this is the appropriate way to perform the Unyo-Sanso .
