Product Information
For hundreds of years the golden stupa of the Shwedagon, the pagoda enshrining the sacred hairs of the Buddha, has dominated the landscape of Ragoon. Since the 19th century, it has been the spiritual symbol of the entire Burmese nation. This work provides a multi-faceted view of the magnificent Buddhist shrine. It contains a series of photographs which seek to capture the atmosphere and vibrancy of a visit to the Shwedagon. The text discusses the history and evolution of the stupa, illustrated with old pictures and plans.Product Identifiers
