Etoumashi Wooden Monastery

There are many magical places in Burma in beauty and color, but one of the most striking and amazing monuments of antiquity is considered to be the wooden monastery of Etoumashi, which is located in the city of Mandalay, the capital of ancient Myanmar. Its name translates as “incomparable” and it really is.

This monastery is now defunct and is a protected cultural site that attracts tourists from all over the world. The most interesting and attracting attention in this building is the carving, which surrounds the structure in several rows. In this openwork ornamental carving, national Burmese motifs are easily guessed, and a feature can be called that when considering one element, you will certainly “grasp” another with a glance and continue to study this pattern.
