Uppatasanti Pagoda — Attraction in Ottara District

Exploring the Cultural Riches and Architectural Beauty of Uppatasanti Pagoda

During my recent journey to Uppatasanti Pagoda, I was captivated by the cultural significance and architectural marvels that define this sacred place. Located in Naypyidaw, Myanmar, Uppatasanti Pagoda is not only a spiritual sanctuary but also a testament to the country's rich heritage.

The first thing that struck me was the grandeur of the pagoda's design. Standing at 99 meters tall, it is an imposing structure with intricate details and gleaming white façades. The architecture seamlessly blends traditional Burmese styles with modern aesthetics, making it a symbol of Myanmar's past and present.

As I explored the pagoda's grounds, I was greeted by friendly locals who shared stories about the history and customs associated with Uppatasanti Pagoda. Their warm hospitality and deep reverence for this place left a lasting impression on me.

Inside the pagoda, the atmosphere was serene, with the scent of incense filling the air. I witnessed worshippers deep in prayer and meditation, a reminder of the spiritual significance of Uppatasanti Pagoda in the lives of the people.

In conclusion, my visit to Uppatasanti Pagoda was a journey into Myanmar's cultural and architectural treasures, accompanied by the warmth of its people. It's a destination that not only offers architectural splendor but also a glimpse into the soul of this...

What an inspiring magnificent ,elegant, creation that stands so imposing on the surrounding environment seen from the exterior but once inside the humility, belief in the eightfold journey from the lifecycle of vice to eternal virtue that is embellished and embossed into all the spaces in the ceiling and supporting walls of the pagoda, the stories though not ready to ingest at first sight by a sight that is new to such scriptures demonstrates that where indeed there is a will, there will always be a way for mankind to make forays into new frontiers. The embalming calm and splendor that punctuates the whole sacred structure and spaces inside and out, on the ground and up the ceiling, helps one ponder about achievements that are that monumental, world changing and timeless that one has so far if any, contributed to humankind in the short lifespan that one is predestined to trade this antripocene troubled planet. If society could create such structures in one part of the World there is absolutely no argument to deny the possibility that similar developments , if not more monumental and spectacular, should not only but must be, seeing lights of the day, in other parts of the world, albeit obviously with some modifications, in different forms but sharing one commonality-celebrating mankind's creativity, doing for the common good, and leaving memorable legacies...

This pagodal located on uphill of Naypyidaw. My friends told me that the Uppatasanti Pagoda is the exact replica of the venerable Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon which was built from golden foiIs that I had chance to visit once.

When you get there, you’ll see a huge yard in front of the pagoda. There’s an escalator that takes you to the top, so you can save time and energy while getting a great view. There are four entrances, each leading to a beautiful Buddha statues. There're Kassapa Buddha, Konagamana Buddha, Kakusandha Buddha, and Gautama Buddha.

Inside the pagoda, you’ll find lots of Myanmar treasures, including four jade Buddhas.

We learnt a bunch of knowledge from the local guides in terms of the history of the pagoda as well as the religion of Myanmar. They said that the locals worked hard and saved up money to donate gold plates for this amazing structure.

I felt a sense of tranquil, peace, calm and meditative when I was there, and it made for an unforgettable experience.

It is highly noted that tou should dress modestly and respectfully when you visit, as this is a place of worship.

If you ever get to Naypyidaw, you definitely have to visit the Golden Pagoda....
