The Botataung Pogoda entrance
The Botataung Pagoda also spelled Botahtaung; literally "1000 military officers" is a famous pagoda located in downtown Yangon, Myanmar, near the Yangon river. The pagoda was first built by the Mon around the same time as was Shwedagon Pagoda—according to local belief, over 2500 years ago, and was known as Kyaik-de-att in Mon language. The pagoda is hollow within, and houses what is believed to be a sacred hair of Gautama Buddha.[1] The Botataung Pagoda was completely destroyed during World War II, and was rebuilt after the war
