How they worship.
I’m not a religious person, but the religious places I’ve visited over the years have left me truly in awe. My absolute favourite was Bagan in Myanmar, a woodsy area with over 2000 pagodas and temples. A close second is Samarkand, a city in Uzbekistan and among the oldest continuously inhabited cities in Central Asia. The city is littered with mosques, madrassas and mausoleums. This page also includes places from Kazakhstan, India and Nepal.
Below a mosque entirely made of wood. The only light came from the skylight. (Uzbekistan.)
Something else made completely out of wood. A church in Kyrgyzstan.
Bagan, Myanmar.
Sunset in Bagan is absolute crazy-insane-beautiful. As the light changes you begin to see more and more pagodas.
The Bagan region is 104m2 and contains over 2000 pagodas and temples. Most of the structures were built between 800 and 1,000 years ago. I tried to see as many as possible in the short time I spent there, and was amazed by the variety. Pictures really don’t do it justice, go see it for yourself!
