Myanmar's Theravada Buddhist culture is among the most devout in the world, with monks collecting alms every morning and pagodas dominating every city skyline. The dhamma (dharma wheel) and lotus are the primary auspicious symbols woven into every aspect of Myanmar's visual culture. Bodhi leaves, Buddha images, and mala beads are everyday protective objects carried by the devout.
Myanmar also has a rich tradition of nat worship — veneration of local spirits — which coexists with Buddhism. Special offering rituals at nat shrines involve flowers, music, and food to propitiate spirits that can bring fortune or misfortune. Lucky numbers and auspicious days are calculated by astrologers before weddings, business openings, and long journeys.
