Holy rainbow! Rare Buddha's Halo appears over mountain in China It may be the rarest of all rainbows, only appearing when sunlight, cloud or fog, and the observers are all in a line. So to capture the appearance of this Buddha's Halo on film is indeed a near-miracle. Seeing things: A 'Buddha Halo' appears after rain on Huang Mountain in Huangshan, Anhui province of China todayHow it works: The phenomenon is formed by the diffuse reflection and diffraction of sunlight irradiating the clouds' surfaces. In other words, it is just a bright rainbow after the rainA Buddha is depicted with a haloThe phenomenon appeared over the Huang Mountain in Huangshan, Anhui province of China after rain today. Buddha is often depicted with a halo around his head. The rainbow is a natural phenomenon of atmospheric optics. It is formed by the diffuse reflection and diffraction of sunlight irradiating the surface of the cloud. That is, it is an extra-bright rainbow after rain. The colours of the rainbow can be seen in this halo, but Buddha's Halos can also be white. The halo, a ring of light surrounding a person, is used in religious iconography to depict the holiness or sacredness of the figure. It is widely used in Buddhism, appearing in relics dating back to the first century. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1304709/Holy-rainbow-Rare-Buddhas-Halo-appears-mountain-China.html
