Buddha's Square is the first new picture you unlock after starting a new game of Secret Society: Hidden Mystery. From the Diary:

"For the first time, I was able to restore a magical photo myself - "Buddha's Square". Based on this success, I now know how to restore the rest of the torn photos in Richard's collection."

Makeover (November 2018)
Buddha's Square received an unusual makeover with the Thanksgiving Day Update (November 2018.)  The background was unchanged, but the hidden object items were changed completely. The items can take different forms. In addition, many other objects appear during some of the plays. For example, sometimes the Buddha is wearing a turban. The turban is not among the list of items to find. There are quite a few extraneous items. The number of extra items which are present for a play increases as the picture level advances from Novice up.

Venice received a similar makeover with the Thanksgiving Day Update. The Thanksgiving Day Update introduced two new pictures, Festive Patio and Dressing Room. The two new pictures plus Venice and Buddha's Square were the first four pictures in the game to include non-permanent extraneous items in the scenes.

The pool of rewards available for each successful game of Buddha's Square contains both Collection Items and Combining Elements:

Note: In addition to the items listed above, other items may also be in the list of potential rewards for a particular play of the picture depending on what game mode it is currently in (e.g. items from the Venetian Masks collection if it is in Text mode) or if there is an active quest involving the picture.
