Kakku Pagodas: Huge Collection of 2478 Stupas

In Buddhism, a stupa is a mound-like structure usually containing relics of Buddhist monks or nuns. Kakku Pagodas in Myanmar is a stupa or pagoda complex that consists of 2,478 needle stick pagodas aligned in a square field. While most of the pagodas were built in the 17th and 18th centuries, the largest was built in the 12th century when the original pagoda collection was extended by King Alaungsithu. Moreover, some of the pagodas are believed to have been built in the 3rd century BC by the Indian Emperor Ashoka.
