1951 Bell Burma Burmese Entered Myanmar Pagoda Peace Rangoon Shaped Usual
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the construction process of the Thankin Nus Peace Pagoda in Rangoon, Myanmar (Burma) during the early 1950s. The pagoda, which was built under the presidency of U Nu, deviates from the traditional bell-shaped pagodas commonly found in the region. Instead, it boasts a unique architectural fusion of building and pagoda, with a solid bottom structure and a towering, ornate top. The intricate brick construction is adorned with cement decorations, while bamboo scaffolding supports the structure during its development. This innovative design, which allowed the pagoda to be built without the need for it to be entered, was a testament to the ingenuity and creativity of the time. The Peace Pagoda, a symbol of peace and tranquility, was constructed during the 1950s, a period of significant change and progress in Burmese history. U Nu, who served as the President of Burma from 1952 to 1958, oversaw the development of this architectural marvel, which continues to stand as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the region. This photograph, taken in 1951, offers a rare glimpse into the past, providing a fascinating insight into the construction process of this unique pagoda and the historical context in which it was built. The image is a reminder of the beauty and diversity of architectural styles that can be found in Myanmar and the importance of preserving its cultural heritage for future generations.
