EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph presents the Payama Pagoda, a remarkable Buddhist shrine located in Pyay, also known as ancient Prome, in Myanmar (formerly Burma). Dating back to the 14th century, this pagoda is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of South East Asia. The image, captured around the 1910s, showcases the pagoda's intricate architectural design, with its towering spire reaching towards the heavens. The structure is adorned with ornate decorations, including intricate carvings and glistening gold leaf, reflecting the devotion and craftsmanship of its builders. The serene surroundings of the pagoda are highlighted in the photograph, with lush greenery and tranquil waters creating a picturesque backdrop. The peaceful atmosphere is further emphasized by the absence of crowds, allowing visitors to fully appreciate the beauty and significance of this ancient site. Pyay, located in the central part of Myanmar, was once an important city in the Mon Kingdom. The Payama Pagoda is one of its most renowned landmarks, attracting pilgrims and tourists alike. The pagoda is believed to house relics of the Buddha, making it a sacred place of worship for the Burmese people. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to a period when the world was less connected, and the beauty of ancient sites like the Payama Pagoda could be savored in peace and quiet.
