Notes:
Instead of being turned, the "pages" of the book are pulled down, causing the pop-ups to lift and become three-dimensional altars. The altars are enclosed within the book covers, which latch in the center, and open to create a personal shrine or temple.
Covers are glossy illustrated boards in orange, green, red, black, and blue; illustration of White Tara on upper board.
