Sule Pagoda, Buddhist pagoda in downtown Yangon, Myanmar
The octagonal structure rises 46 meters high with multiple rings of gold-plated bells and a central golden spire pointing toward the sky.
Built during the Mon Kingdom period over 2,000 years ago, this pagoda contains a strand of Buddha's hair according to local records.
The pagoda functions as both a religious center and a geographical landmark, marking the center point from which Yangon's streets radiate outward.
The entrance fee is 5,000 kyat for foreigners, and visitors must remove shoes before entering the inner temple areas and dress appropriately.
The temple structure incorporates a series of planetary posts where worshippers pray according to the day of their birth, following Burmese astrology.
