Wish on an Orange!

It is a traditional practice here to make a wish by writing your wish on a piece of paper and connect it to an orange. This is called a wishing placard! Then you throw it up into a large banyan tree. If it hangs, your wish will come true.

This tree, a famous Wishing Tree, is a favorite for wishers. Because the tree is dead, however, people are no longer allowed to throw oranges. How do they make a wish now? There is a board where wishers can pin their dreams!
