I climbed the stairs to the temple. I remember throwing a coconut on a flat stone as sacrifice to the Buddha, but nowhere do I read about this. Does anybody know from this custom? Did anyone go to the top and did the cocnut throw?
Please let me know, I want to remember as much as possible, I am writing my travel history,
thanks in advance,
