La Golden Rock è un masso alto 20 metri, sospeso nel vuoto e perfettamente bilanciato su uno sperone roccioso del Monte Kyaiktiyo, in Myanmar. Sulla roccia, oltre 2.000 anni fa, è stata costruita una pagoda di 7 metri dove è conservato un capello del Buddha: una preziosa reliquia che, secondo la leggenda, mantiene in equilibrio il macigno. Questa gigantesca roccia, completamente rivestita di oro purissimo, è una delle principali mete di pellegrinaggio buddhista del paese; ogni anno migliaia di turisti e devoti si recano in questo luogo sacro per attaccare una lamina d'oro sulla pietra, rendendola sempre più lucente e preziosa. La credenza popolare vuole che, mostrando devozione al Buddha, si riceva in cambio fortuna e prosperità. Solo agli uomini è consentito il privilegio di pregare e toccare la pietra, alle donne non è permesso nemmeno avvicinarsi. Il tempio si trova a circa 1.100 metri sul livello del mare e si raggiunge attraverso una salita piuttosto faticosa. La massima concentrazione dei pellegrinaggi va da novembre a marzo, il periodo in cui si festeggia il Full Moon of Tabaungè: una ricorrenza celebrata ogni anno attorno alla Golden Rock, dove migliaia di fedeli accendono 90 mila candeline e bruciano incenso. Un luogo mistico, dove poesia e suggestione si mescolano alle preghiere dei pellegrini buddhisti di tutto il mondo, e in cui recarsi almeno una volta nella vita.

Very nice and well made photo, in which you caught a suggestive atmosphere, however well described in the presentation.
This shot of yours just for the atmosphere, reminds me of Steve Mc Curry ... and wants to be an appreciation of your work.
Greetings

Imposing and majestic work that I appreciated as much as in the photo you published and in the next one to give a more detailed sense of the proportions with the human figures.
The photo with these colors at sunset is definitely spectacular, thanks for the interesting caption accompanying this your "precious" shot.
maximum.

Beautiful photo and excellent dida ... I appreciate photos but, when I find something I like, I am also interested in knowing what is behind it.
It is not easy (if you are not satisfied with superficial photos) to enter the lives of other peoples; least of all if you are a woman, I imagine.
So good!
