Fine Art Prints from Mary Evans Picture Library
Reclining Buddha - Rangoon
Reclining Buddha - Rangoon - Big Boy we came to a collection of basha huts close to it, and were told it was all right to go through to it. Soon we stood at the gateway to what was a pongyi monastery. The Buddha was as big as the Egyptian sphinx. Painted and gilded cement or sandstone head, brick torso and arms, large white feet and toes as big as a tree trunk. Date: 1951

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, the Reclining Buddha of Rangoon, Myanmar (formerly Burma), lies serenely under the shade of a cool, colonial-era veranda. The image, taken in 1951, captures the awe-inspiring size and grandeur of the statue, which was as impressive as the Egyptian Sphinx. The Buddha's gilded cement or sandstone head and brick torso contrast sharply with his large, white feet and toes, reminiscent of tree trunks. The scene unfolds as the photographer and their companions approach a collection of traditional Burmese basha huts, which they were permitted to pass through. The journey leads them to the entrance of a pongyi monastery, where they find themselves standing at the gateway to this sacred site. The atmosphere is filled with a subtle yet distinct scent, adding to the overall sense of wonder and reverence. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the 1950s and the unique charm of Burma during that era. The image is a testament to the rich cultural heritage and spiritual significance of the Reclining Buddha of Rangoon, which continues to draw visitors from around the world to this day.
