Kyaik Htee Saung, Buddhist pagoda in Bilin, Myanmar.

The pagoda complex rises from a laterite stone hillock, featuring multiple structures and sacred buildings arranged in ascending tiers.

Two brothers, Deiwa Kondala and Namani Kondala, constructed the original pagoda in Buddhist Era 113 to preserve a strand of Buddha's hair.

The pagoda's name evolved from Kyaik Kalookdek, meaning 'A Pagoda Built by Devas' to Kyaik Htisaung, referencing its tilting umbrella structure.

The compound maintains facilities for visitors, including prayer halls, accommodation areas, and spaces where religious ceremonies take place throughout the year.

Nine sacred pagodas within the complex contain authenticated relics of Buddha, making it a significant center for Buddhist devotion in Myanmar.
