Maha Wizaya Pagoda, Buddhist temple in Dagon Township, Yangon, Myanmar.
The Maha Wizaya Pagoda features a central golden stupa with 11 tiers on its umbrella spire, standing near the southern entrance of Shwedagon Pagoda.
The construction of this religious structure took place between 1980 and 1986 under the direction of General Ne Win during Myanmar's military rule period.
The pagoda houses sacred Buddhist relics from Nepal within its hollow central stupa, surrounded by walls decorated with painted trees and plastic leaf ornaments.
Visitors can access the pagoda through a rectangular pond with a bridge at the intersection of U Htaung Bo Road and Shwedagon Pagoda Road.
The interior walls of the main stupa contain a rotunda with light blue murals depicting animals and Buddha teaching scenes, alongside numerous Buddha statues.
