Get it bomb-proofed QUICK.

Inscription on the Bhudda plaque:

“with thanks from the Guarjarat Kiwanis for his outstanding leadership as Head Lama during the year of the monkey in the 1500 years of Bhudda’s Birth,...’

I got a bunch of these somewhere that will probably go into a landfill when I die and be resurrected after several millenia.

I wonder how Gujarat feels about people poking around in his Vadnagar.

I know I'd be pretty pissed if someone didn't ask really politely first.
