Theravada Buddhism is the religion of the majority of Myanmar's population (more than 80%). The graceful tapering shape of a pagoda painted white or gilded to a shining gold, is a basic part of any Burmese landscape.
Some Buddhist pagodas in Myanmar
Myanmar is often called the "Land of Pagodas" because in all parts of the country where the Myanmar people live there are pagodas and Buddhist monasteries.
