According to the Yangon Region government, digital directories will be installed at ten famous pagodas in Yangon Region within three months from April, using Chinese technology equipment.
The pagodas set to receive these digital directories include Botahtaung, Sule, Insein Kyauktawgyi, Maelamu, Kyaikkalo, Kyaikkasan, Kaba Aye, Shwebonepwint, Thanlyin Kyaikkhauk, and Twantay Shwesandaw pagodas.
The installation of digital directories will allow pilgrims to explore the historical background and details of each pagoda, potentially increasing the number of foreign visitors.
Yangon Region is home to 30 famous pagodas, and after installing directories at the initial 10, plans are in place to extend this to the remaining pagodas. Additionally, installation of digital directories is now underway at ten renowned pagodas across the country, including Mahamuni Pagoda in Mandalay, Kyaiktiyo Pagoda in Kyaikto, Shwezigon Pagoda and Ananda Temple in NyaungU, Uppatasanti Pagoda in Nay Pyi Taw, Myathalun pagoda in Magway, Shwesandaw pagoda in Pyay, Shitthaung pagoda in MraukU, and Shwemawdaw pagoda in Bago.
