Positioned high atop the Singuttara Hill, Shwe Dagon Pagoda is an architectural beauty
[Original caption] The Shwe Dagon Pagoda at Rangoon is the centre and the most sacred shrine of Buddhism and is the greatest of all the Burmese pagodas. The view shows the graceful bell-shaped dome as seen from Dalhousie Park. The whole is gilt, a large portion being covered with plates of solid gold, presenting a glorious effect as it blazes under an Indian sun. [end]
