This print captures the serene beauty of Buddhist nuns immersed in prayer at the magnificent Shwedagon Pagoda, also known as the Golden Pagoda. Located in Yangon, Myanmar, this iconic travel destination stands as a testament to centuries of spirituality and devotion. The image showcases three women dressed in traditional clothing, sitting with their backs towards us. Their ornate attire adds an exquisite touch to the scene while emphasizing their dedication to Buddhism.
