Description
No Shoes, 2013 - Bagan, Myanmar
A sign outside a temple in Bagan, Myanmar, with a traditional Burmese Yoke thé marionette. The sign urges visitors to take off their shoes, as is customary when visiting Buddhist temples or other sanctuaries. Worshippers commonly sit on the ground to pray or meditate and the removal of shoes helps keep the temple clean. Furthermore, removing one’s shoes (as well as such items as sunglasses and hats) serves as a sign of respect.
