Shitenno-ji Kondo (Golden Hall)

Shitennoji Kondo is the main Buddhist hall at the center of Shitennoji in Osaka. It enshrines the principal image Kuse Kannon and statues of the Four Heavenly Kings, and its walls hold paintings depicting Shakyamuni's life from birth to nirvana. The current building was rebuilt in 1961, and inside visitors burn incense and walk the corridor clockwise while praying. Photography inside is not permitted.
