Walking around the famous Pagoda in Rangoon.
The Botataung Pagoda was named after the thousand military leaders who escorted relics of the Buddha brought from India over two thousand years ago. The meaning of Bo is "leader" and tahtaung is "a thousand". It was built almost in the same time as Sule Pagoda and Shwedagon Pagoda over. 2500 years ago. The name of the pagoda was originally Kyaik-de-att. which was a Mon name. or Sandaw Shin as it is enshrined with the sacred hair of the Lord Buddha.
Botataung should be listed as sighseeing destination in every travellers program.
Just on the left side of the pagoda's compound is another interesting place for Ahma Mya Nan Nwe.
