Changes

The next room in the temple is known as the Painted Pavilion. Here, the Jataka Tales (the stories of the previous lives of the Buddha) have been beautifully painted on the ceiling. After passing through the Painted Pavilion, guests exit the Tiger Temple and enter Mr. Panika's Shop, which is located directly adjacent to the building. Inside the shop, guests can browse through Mr. Panika's huge inventory of (mostly animal related) merchandise. Signs throughout the shop suggest that Mr. Panika is fairly desperate to make sales. Next to the store, guests can see a small bird market, which doesn't have any real birds in it. Across from the market sits an uninhabited aviary.

After meandering their way through the shop, guests finally enter Kali Rapids Expeditions. On the overhead speakers, they can hear Manisha Gurung explain why she started her business. The office itself is littered with old appliances such as a telephone, typewriter, answering machine and film cameras. A slide projector in the room also gives guests a glimpse of the some of the sights that they will see on the rapids. Furthermore, inside the office, guests can find a map of Anandapur and a raft position chart. As guests enter the second room of the office, they hear someone over the radio warn Manisha that illegal logging is taking place along the river, and that the raft rides should stop. Unfortunately, since Manisha is nowhere to be found, the rafting expeditions continue on. Inside this room, guests can also see stylized painting of many of the scenes that they will soon see on the Kali River Rapids.
