SHWE-DAGON STUPA (PAGODA)

The Shwe-Dagon Stupa (Pagoda) in Yangon is a religious stupa which construction went on from 14th century on into the 15th century. This temple enshrines the relics of Buddha. It has gone through centuries with restoration to keep its beauty. Even now this place goes under a lot of redecoration. In my opinion this place is so beautiful that is shows and gives off a feeling of purity, and happiness. The amount of gold paint that was used to paint this place shines brilliantly both day and night. The gold shows a sign of wealth as well as enlightenment. This is a very impressively constructed temple.
