BUDDHA'S HAIR TEMPLE IN YANGON, MYAMAR IS A MUCH REVERED PAGODA AS THIS ANCIENT, 2,600 YEAR OLD TEMPLE CONTAINS A STRAND OF BUDDHA'S HAIR AND THE STUPA IS HOLLOW, UNLIKE SHWEDAGON WHICH IS MADE OF SOLID GOLD!

 LIKE ALL HOLY RELICS, IT IS SO DECORATED AND LAVISHED WITH GOLD, GEMS AND JEWELS YOU CAN BARELY SEE THE VIAL CONTAINING BUDDHA'S HAIR!
 THERE ARE SO MANY JEWELS AND GOLD I COULD NOT SEE WHAT ISWHAT
