The most important temple for the people of Mandalay is The temple of the Golden Buddha of Maha Muni.The Maha Muni image was cast in metal but the "lumpy" appearance (now almost 15 inches thick)of the lower part of the statue today is due to the generations of devotees who have adhered offerings of small squares of gold leaf to the image that only men are allowed to touch.
