Kaba Aye Pagoda, Buddhist sanctuary in Mayangon Township, Yangon, Myanmar.

The Kaba Aye Pagoda rises 34 meters high with white walls and contains a central chamber housing a golden Buddha statue and religious artifacts.

Construction of the pagoda began in 1952 under Prime Minister U Nu's direction to host the Sixth Buddhist Council commemorating 2500 years of Buddhism.

Buddhist monks gather daily at the pagoda to perform ceremonies, while visitors remove shoes and maintain silence within the sacred spaces.

The pagoda opens from sunrise to sunset, with an entrance fee of 5000 kyat, and requires modest dress code including covered shoulders and knees.

The adjacent Maha Pasana Cave, an artificial cave structure, spans 139 meters in length and housed 2500 monks during the Buddhist Council.
