Kyaikkhauk Pagoda, Buddhist pagoda in Thanlyin, Myanmar
The Kyaikkhauk Pagoda rises on Hlaingpotkon Hill with four stairways leading to the central structure, featuring a Mon-style stupa design.
King Sulathrima of Thaton established the Kyaikkhauk Pagoda approximately 2000 years ago, making it one of the oldest religious structures in the region.
During the annual festival in February, Buddhist devotees gather at the pagoda to participate in traditional ceremonies during the Burmese month of Tabodwe.
The pagoda stands at coordinates 16°43′49″N 96°16′15″E, providing elevated ground that served as protection for local residents during Cyclone Nargis.
The Myanmar Times documented renovation plans for the Kyaikkhauk Pagoda in 2011, marking a new phase in the preservation of this religious monument.
