However, the lion statues at the entrance are equally mesmerizing, their intricately carved features and powerful demeanor exuding a sense of strength and serenity. These lions, a common motif in Buddhist temples and pagodas throughout Asia, are believed to represent courage, power, and protection. The lions' open mouths symbolize their readiness to roar, signifying the fierce determination to protect the sacred teachings of Buddhism. The lions' intricate details, from their manes to their paws, are a testament to the masterful craftsmanship of Myanmar's artisans. The golden hue of the statues adds an ethereal glow, making them stand out against the lush green foliage of the surrounding gardens.
