the Shwedagon




Just decided to go back into blogging and instead of creating another one, why not just revive this old blog of mine?

Anyhooms, i was in Myanmar last week and i got to visit the Shwedagon Pagoda. The Shwedagon Pagoda, located in the centre of Myanmar's capital city, Yangon, is a huge tower made of gold. This is the most sacred Buddhist Pagoda for Myanmar Buddhist because of the relics enshrined within it.

Expectation:

Reality:


pointed (golden) roofs



minitowers


intricate details and details of the design


a buddhist offering




monks
