Oracle stones are rather large stones used in
Myanmar to foretell
if a wish will be granted or not.
Fortune seekers come here to rub the stone
while making a wish, and then predict if the stone will feel either heavy or
light when lifted.
If the feel of it corresponds to their prediction, it is
believed that their wish will be fulfilled. These oracle
stones lie in front of the shrines of the outer
nats

Shwezigon Phaya
