Nat Shrine

Posted by Helen (Melbourne, Australia) on 26 January 2007 in Lifestyle & Culture and Portfolio.

Although the Burmese are Buddhists they build shrines to land spirits they call Nat. They make daily offerings of food, incense and flowers at the shrines to placate these "guardian" Nat because they displaced them by building their houses, monasteries or by planting rice and other crops on the land .

Constructive feedback is your greatest compliment; caring enough to bother saying something ... thanks for visiting!
