Burmese People and a Buddhist Ritual at The Botataung Pagoda in Yangon Rangun Myanmar Burma

The Botataung Pagoda is a Buddhist temple complex in Yangon in Myanmar.

Legend has it that 1000 officers formed a trellis when a ship from India with Buddha relics landed at the site of the pagoda more than 2000 years ago. The first pagoda at this point was built by the Mon around 2500 years ago, around the same time as the Shwedagon Pagoda.
