The Altar of Oh Ni Toh

General View of Oh Ni Toh's Altar


Another fascinating unique landmark of Bau Town.  
It is a 'Taffic roundabout which doubles as a Buddhist Altar'.  

As a traffic roundabout the temple is sure to become one of the tourist sights of Bau, but its significance to the locals makes it much more'.than that. The original wooden shrine was built not to guard against traffic accidents, but toward off evil spirits. It was the cars, not the deity which had to make way and today she is as solidly stand in the chosen spot as she was half a century ago.

In 1971 the wooden shrine was replaced by a concrete one, and 15 years later it was finally remodelled and put under cover to form a small temple.
