This photo taken on April 12, 2025 shows a man clearing the debris around a damaged Buddha statue at Lawkatharaphu Pagoda in Inwa on the outskirts of Mandalay, following the devastating March 28 earthquake. When a massive earthquake hit Myanmar last month, centuries of sacred history tumbled down – towering Buddha idols, sky-scraping stupas and the pure-white pagoda where 83-year-old Khin Sein has prayed for most of her life.
