First Day of the Celebration/Dedication of the New Pagoda

Yesterday was the first day of the 2-day ceremony to celebrate and dedicate the new pagoda (chedi in Thai) at Buddhist Temple of America. The pagoda houses at least 108 different holy relics of the Buddha and other Awakened Ones. I am sharing some pictures here. Brief descriptions of the images available on Flickr.
Today, Sunday, May 29, 2011, a formal ceremony will be performed to place the holy relics of the Buddha in the center of the pagoda. I am really looking forward to this event!
