Great Buddha undergoes ritual cleaning: Priests and other workers clean the Great Buddha statue in Todaiji temple in Nara, Japan, last month during the annual ritual called “ominugui.” The 49-foot statue of the Vairocana Buddha is designated as a national treasure. About 180 priests and followers climbed on the statue or used gondolas hung from the ceiling and spent about two hours cleaning it with cloths and dusters.
