Mahamuni Pagoda

On the outskirts of Mandalay  is perhaps one of Myanmar's most religious monuments. The Buddha  is said to have been sculpted directly in the presence of Gautama Buddha  during a visit to the kingdom of  Arakan. Gold leaf offerings are applied in homage to the  Buddha with so many layers that his body is now quite out of proportion with a truly large heart and enormous hand.    Here, members of the public purchase their small square inch of gold leaf and wait in turn to apply it . It's a truly moving experience.
