Mahazedi Pagoda, Buddhist pagoda in Bago, Myanmar.
The Mahazedi Pagoda features a bell-shaped structure rising 69 meters high, with a square base and intricate carvings adorning its exterior walls.
King Bayinnaung commissioned the construction of this pagoda in 1559 to house a Buddha tooth relic gifted by the King of Kotte.
The pagoda remains a central point for Buddhist devotees who perform traditional rituals and offerings during religious ceremonies throughout the year.
The pagoda opens daily from sunrise to sunset, with visitors required to remove shoes before entering and wear clothing that covers shoulders and knees.
Following complete destruction in 1930, the pagoda underwent extensive reconstruction in the 1950s, incorporating traditional architectural elements from its original design.
