Description

The Shwedagon Pagoda is a gilded stupa located in Yangon, Myanmar. It is the most sacred Buddhist pagoda in Myanmar, as it is believed to contain relics of the four previous Buddhas of the present kalpa. These relics include the staff of Kakusandha, the water filter of Koṇāgamana, a piece of the robe of Kassapa, and eight strands of hair from the head of Gautama. All visitors MUST have bare feet, and if you don't have long clothes for your legs they will provide you with some! A beautiful experience.
