Description: | Photograph from the Curzon Collection, the view looking down a staircase leading up to the Kyaikthanlan Pagoda, the tallest and most conspicuous religious monument in Moulmein (Mawlamyaing). The pagoda stands on a ridge of hills running north-south in the east of the town and is one of five monasteries and shrines built there. It is a stupa or zedi 40 m tall, and stands on a platform reached via flights of stairs ascending the hillside. In the distance can be seen a view of the town, with the Salween (Thanlwin) River and small islands visible beyond. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Watts and Skeen | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
