Shwedagon Pagoda: Famous Buddhist Temple in Mayanmar
The Shwedagon Pagoda (or Golden Pagoda) in Yangon, is the holiest
Buddhist shrine in Burma. The origins of Shwedagon are lost in antiquity
but it is estimated that the Pagoda was first built by the Mon during
the Bagan period, sometime between the 6th and 10th century AD. The
temple complex is full of glittering, colorful stupas but the center of
attention is the 99 meter high (326 feet) high main stupa that is
completely covered in gold.
