Description
Kyaiktiyo Pagoda also known as Golden Rock is a well-known Buddhist pilgrimage site in Mon State, Burma. It is a small pagoda 7.3 metres 24 ft built on the top of a granite boulder covered with gold leaves pasted on by its male devotees.nAccording to legend, the Golden Rock itself is precariously perched on a strand of the Buddha`s hair. The balancing rock seems to defy gravity, as it perpetually appears to be on the verge of rolling down the hill. The rock and the pagoda are at the top of Mt. Kyaiktiyo.
