EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enigmatic smile of the reclining Buddha in the Manuha Temple, located in Bagan, Myanmar. The temple itself is an ancient Buddhist structure dating back to 1067 CE and holds great historical significance in the Mandalay region. In this close-up view, we are drawn into the serene expression on one of its reclining Buddhas. The image showcases a statue that is both massive and monolithic, painted with intricate details that bring it to life. The whitewashed walls and windows of the temple create a cramped and enclosed atmosphere, adding to the sense of religious devotion within. Surrounding the Buddha are various religious offerings left by worshippers who come here seeking solace and enlightenment. What truly captivates our attention is the Buddha's face - calm, tranquil, and deeply meditative. His lips form an enigmatic smile that hints at profound contemplation beyond our understanding. The red paint adorning his nostrils adds a touch of vibrancy against his serene countenance. This photograph invites us to delve into not just its artistic beauty but also explore Buddhism as a religion rooted in prayer and worship. It transports us to another time and place where spirituality intertwines with artistry, leaving us mesmerized by its timeless allure.
