The light brown elephant pulls the chain at the elephant park in Naypyidaw. It was found in the jungle near the Bay of Bengal in June this year and was seen as a sign of good luck for the ruling military junta. It was named Bhaddavati with holy water blessing ceremony. In the future there are signs that the new capital shall become the country's major tourist destination after the election. In great secrecy, Burma's ruling military junta started to build a city in the middle of a jungle. In 2005 it was proclaimed the new capital, named Naypyidaw.

In the new capital there is no signs of the military loosening its grip on power.. Get premium, high resolution news photos at getty
