The Myanmar junta has erected a gigantic 19-meter-high statue of the Buddha in Naypyitaw, which is set to be consecrated on 1 August.
It is reportedly four meters taller than the famous Todai-ji in Japan and may be the tallest in the world.
The head of the junta has been overseeing the project, which also includes several small pagodas, ordination halls, rest houses, water fountains, lakes, and a park.
