This is Kunaram Temple - Mummified Monk To the right of the Temple is a specially constructed building where a mummified monk is on display in a glass cage. He died more than 20 years ago while he was sitting meditating. He is still in this position today and his body shows few signs of any major decay. He was wearing dark sunglasses which looked like someone had put them there for a laugh but is was probably because his eyeballs had decayed. Colin thought he looked a little bit more slumped over than when he had seen him before, several years ago. I didn't want to take any photos of the monk himself in case it was seen as disrespectful but there is a photo of him in the link above.
