TAUNGGYI witnessed a bustling scene at its famous pagodas on 12 February, which marked Un­ion Day as well as a full moon day of Tabodwe.

 

As the day holds special sig­nificance for Buddhists, visitors flocked to pagodas and stupas, the pride of the city. The well-known pagodas of Taunggyi, such as the Culamuni Lokachan­tha Pagoda, Shwephonepwint Pagoda and Myaseintaung Pa­goda, along with popular relaxa­tion spots like the Bogyoke Park, were filled with both pilgrims and visitors who gathered to pay homage and engage in relaxa­tion activities. — Sai Than Kyaw (Taunggyi IPRD)/KZL
