Burma Dagon Pagoda Rangoon Shwe
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the majesty and mystery of the Shwe Dagon Pagoda in Rangoon, Burma, as it stood in 1905. The pagoda, also known as the Golden Pagoda, is the most sacred Buddhist pilgrimage site in Myanmar, and has been a place of worship for over 2,500 years. The image reveals the intricate details of the pagoda's architecture, with its tiered roofs, ornate gilded stupas, and intricate decorative motifs. The central stupa, believed to enshrine eight hairs of the Buddha, is encrusted with gold leaf and jewels, shimmering in the sunlight. Surrounding the main stupa are smaller pagodas, shrines, and pavilions, all nestled among lush greenery and bustling with devotees. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the daily life of the people of Rangoon during this era. In the foreground, a group of women in traditional Burmese attire can be seen, carrying baskets and chatting with each other. In the background, a man in a longyi, the traditional Burmese sarong, walks along the path leading to the pagoda. The atmosphere of reverence and devotion is palpable, as the faithful make their pilgrimage to pay homage to the sacred relics housed within the pagoda. The photograph captures a moment in time, a snapshot of a rich cultural heritage that continues to captivate and inspire visitors to this day.
