They believe it's a holy thing that takes away pain from the body. If you have a headache, you rub your head; if you have back pain, you rub your back.
What's special about the way some bodies of holy people are preserved?
For some holy people, their bodies have no smell even weeks after they pass away. It's believed they're still meditating, so their bodies aren't moved right away.
What's the meaning of the red and white markings on the walls?
It's not a religious or meaningful thing; it's just something people who work there do.
