MYANMAR, Burma , die Mahamuni-Pagode (mit der gewaltigen Gold-Buddha-Statue) in Mandalay, Full front view of the Great Image), 78691/20568

            Blattgoldkleben ist in der Mahamuni-Pagode reine Männersache
Es dürfen sich nur Männer der Statue nähern und sie mit Blattgold bekleben. Der Reiseleiter besorgt mir solch ein Blättchen. Bei der Sicherheitskontrolle wird schließlich strengstens darauf geachtet, dass sich keine Frau unter die Gläubigen schummelt. Zugleich darf nur an die Buddhastatur herantreten, wer auch nachweislich Gold bei sich trägt. Andernfalls wäre der Andrang wohl noch größer als ohnehin schon. 
Man klebt das Stück Blattgold  auf,  wobei das gar nicht so einfach ist wie man meint. Denn die Goldblättchen sind hauchdünn, sodass sie sich sofort an die Haut haften, sowie man sie in die Finger nimmt. So werden viele der Blättchen mehr auf die Statue geschmiert als tatsächlich geklebt. Ein spannend Ritual ist es aber dennoch.
