Shwesandaw Pagoda (Pyay)


The Shwesandaw Pagoda, or Shwesandaw Paya is a Buddhist pagoda in the center of Pyay, Burma. It is one of the more important Buddhist pilgrimage locations in Burma. It is said to contain a couple of the Buddha's hairs, as its name means Golden Hair Relic.
During the full moon day of Tabodwe, Shwesandaw Pagoda holds a miphon pwe, whereby worshippers light bonfires using Sesbania cannabina as tinder.
