NE:  This is the "San Phra Phoom"... it is a tradition in Thailand to put up this miniature house (altar like)  in front of every house or building they construct.  It is a belief that when they build something, they disturb the dwelling place of some spirits so they must build something for them to relocate and resettle themselves.  It is a common sight here  in front of houses, big buildings and shopping malls.

My Entry:  The "San Phra Phoom" at sunrise.....

Lolit, after much thinking, you have perfectly got what I meant by TRADITIONAL. Really lovely belief u have portrayed here. Also loved the divine light effect in ur entry. In India too, many Hindus have tulsi (Holy Basil) plants growing in front of or near their home, often in special pots. Traditionally, tulsi is planted in the center of the central courtyard of Hindu houses.
