Built from 1939 to 1958, Thanboddhay Paya is a celebration of colour as much as a celebration of Buddha. Clad in tons of gold and painted retina-blinding combinations of colours, I've never seen anything like this. It almost looks like confectionary.
Buddist temples in Myanmar believe that more Buddha images are better. Hundreds of thousands are not uncommon. At Thanboddhay Paya Buddhas are carved into every nook and cranny. One tally says it has 582,363 Buddha images in all! Craziness. But wandering the site, I can believe it. Try counting them in these images and see for yourself.
