Description
Kyaiktiyo Pagoda or Golden Rock is a Buddhist pilgrimage site in Myanmar. The small pagoda is built on top of a granite boulder that is said to be balancing on a strand of Buddha's hair. It is covered in gold leaf pasted on by male devotees as females are not permitted to touch the rock. Pilgrims meditate, light candles, pray and make offers to Buddha.
