The Buddha has four faces, representing love, career, health, and wealth. Visitors can worship each face in a clockwise direction and mention their birthdate and time. Inside the Four-Faced Buddha, one can purchase incense, candles, and garlands for worship at a fair price. Offerings include elephants, flowers, and coconuts. After worship, one can ask for a bottle of holy water from the fellow worshippers and remember to fulfill their vows when their wishes come true. The order of worship is important. Enter through the main gate, worship the first face, and then proceed clockwise to worship the remaining three faces before washing hands and face from the water basin.
