Mahamuni Buddha, Buddhist statue in Myanmar
The Mahamuni Buddha is a highly revered statue located in Mandalay.
Originating from the Arakan Kingdom, it was brought to Mandalay in 1785.
Said to be one of the five likenesses of Buddha created during his lifetime.
Devotees frequently visit the temple to apply gold leaf to the statue.
Its distinct layer of gold leaf applied by male devotees has led to an irregular texture.
