A Buddhist temple in Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City).
If you look closely you can see a yellow symbol over the main entrance.
This is more widely known as a swastika, but it has been a symbol used
in Asia long before the Nazis hi-jacked it.
It originally symbolised the revolving sun, fire and good luck.
To Buddhists it's a symbol of resignation. To Hindus, with the arms pointing
left, represents night, magic and the Goddess Kali.
See the close-up below comparing it with the Nazi swastika.
