Shwemawdaw Pagoda, located in Bago, Myanmar, is one of the most revered and tallest pagodas in the country. Standing at approximately 114 meters (374 feet), it is even taller than the famous Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon. The pagoda's origins date back over a thousand years, initially built by the Mon people. It has undergone several reconstructions due to earthquakes, the most significant one being in 1930. The gold-plated structure is adorned with intricate designs and sacred relics, including hair relics of the Buddha, making it a major pilgrimage site for Buddhists.
