This photo was taken Bagan, Myanmar. The Shwezigon Pagoda or Shwezigon Paya Ã¡â¬âºÃ¡â¬Â½Ã¡â¬Â¾Ã¡â¬Â±Ã¡â¬â¦Ã¡â¬Å Ã¡â¬ÂºÃ¡â¬Â¸Ã¡â¬ÂÃ¡â¬Â¯Ã¡â¬Â¶Ã¡â¬ËÃ¡â¬Â¯Ã¡â¬âºÃ¡â¬Â¬Ã¡â¬Â¸ is a Buddhist temple located in Nyaung-U, a town near Bagan, in Myanmar. A prototype of Burmese stupas, it consists of a circular gold leaf-gilded stupa surrounded by smaller temples and shrines. Construction of the Shwezigon Pagoda began during the reign of King Anawrahta r. 1044Ã¢â¬â77, who was the founder of the Pagan Dynasty, in 1059Ã¢â¬â1060 and was completed in 1102 AD, during the reign of his son King Kyansittha. Over the centuries the pagoda had been damaged by many earthquakes and other natural calamities, and has been refurbished several times. In recent renovations it has been covered by more than 30,000 copper plates. However, the lowest level terraces have remained as they were.
