EDITORS COMMENTS
Myanmar: Mandalay - A Zeyat (circa 1910s) This evocative photograph captures the serene beauty and spiritual significance of the Zeyat Temple in Mandalay, Myanmar (formerly known as Burma). Mandalay, the second largest city in Myanmar and the last royal capital of the Burmese kings, is located in the central part of the country. The city is renowned for its rich cultural heritage and numerous Buddhist temples and monasteries. The Zeyat Temple, also known as Mahamuni Pagoda, is one of the most revered Buddhist pilgrimage sites in Myanmar. The temple complex houses a highly venerated Buddha image, the Mahamuni Buddha, which is believed to have been brought to Myanmar from India in the 1st century BC. The image is covered in gold leaf offered by devotees, giving it a unique appearance. The architectural style of the temple reflects the fusion of Indian and Burmese influences, with its intricate ornamentation, tall spires, and impressive bell and drum towers. The temple complex also includes various shrines, pavilions, and monasteries, providing a peaceful retreat for visitors seeking spiritual enlightenment. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the temple was a bustling hub of religious activity. The image of monks in their traditional robes, devotees offering prayers, and the temple's magnificent architecture create a powerful visual narrative of the enduring significance of Buddhism in Myanmar's rich cultural heritage.
