Xá Lợi Pagoda, Buddhist temple in District 3, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
The temple spans 5000 square meters and features a seven-story bell tower housing a two-ton bell modeled after Thien Mu Pagoda.
The Buddhist temple, constructed in 1956, became the center of significant protests in 1963 against President Ngo Dinh Diem's government policies.
The main hall presents fourteen artistic panels depicting the life journey of Gautama Buddha, from birth to nirvana, created by artist Nguyen Van Long.
The temple welcomes visitors who must wear appropriate clothing when entering the ceremonial halls and sacred areas containing Buddhist relics.
The pagoda houses authentic relics of Gautama Buddha within a small stupa, making it a principal Buddhist center in South Vietnam.
