hind parts of lion or a big inverted begging bowl!
Dear Editor,
We are on a pilgrimage trip from Mandalay to a small village –Mingum(where the world's largest ringing bell is situated). It stands on the bank of Irrawaddy river .
Beside the big bell , there is an unfinished gigantic pagoda – only the base had been
completed .In front ,there are two chinthes(Burmese mythical lions)guarding the
entrance of the big pagoda .
Due to an earthquake and unproportioned built,both of them had been crumbled down to the ground. Only the hind parts remain to this day. They are almost three stories high and were blackened with moss and lichens. A professor of mine mistaken this (hind parts of the mythical lion ).with a big inverted begging bowl,seen from a distance.
Sincerely yours,
Soee Theinn,
