Mandalay

In Myanmar, gold and statutes are interconnected like ying and yang. I was given an insight into the intricate processes of producing gold leaves. An abundance of the leaves end up on the Buddha statute that sits serenely in the spectacular Mahamuni temple. Faithful devotees place day by day gold leaf after gold leaf on this Buddha statute. The world’s largest “book” is another “wow-effect” on that day. The entire Buddhist scrip is written on 729 slabs of stone in the Kuthodaw temple.
