The Golden Shwedagon Pagoda of Yangon
No words … just photos of a place offering shade to the body & spirit in the heat of Myanmar.
The grandeur of the architecture matches the depth of devotion with which the people of Myanmar live the philosophy of Buddha. A quick look at the stunning Shwe (Golden) Dagon (Pagoda) that contains 4 strands of hair of Gautam Buddha and other relics of previous Buddhas.
One of the must-see places in Asia.
