Snake Pagoda in Mynitnge, Myanmar

A pagoda dedicated to snakes who are treated as holy. Apparently, a few snakes kept returning to the same temple, and eventually they became seen as blessed. While the originals are no longer alive (and are taxidermed on display at said temple), others have replaced them.
