Botataung, Myanmar
Botataung Pagoda
The Botataung Kyaik De Att Pagoda is a famous pagoda located in downtown Yangon, Myanmar, near the Yangon river. The pagoda was first built by the Mon people around the same time as the Shwedagon Pagoda—according to local belief, over 2,500 years ago, and was known as Kyaik-de-att in Mon language. The pagoda is hollowed within, and houses what is believed to be a sacred hair of The Buddha.
