Probably one of the weirdest things I have seen in Myanmar, the snake pagoda houses three fat pythons who are worshipped as sacred animals.
I walked around the rest of the temple, where I found a lot of python statues, and visited a small area called mini-Bagan nearby. But the best was yet to come. Around 11am, the snakes are taken out to be washed in a special pool, watched by a pious crowd. They are then dried up, with towels and money, and fed some milk, after which they glide back to their statue. They are truly revered as if they were sacred animals, and taken care of very well. While watching the spectacle, I was amazed at the friendliness of the pythons and the respect with which they were treated.
