It is 160 km from east of Yangon and also located on the Paunglaung moutain range in part of Eastern Yoma. It is situiated in Kyaikhto Township in Mon state. The Pagoda has very wonderful historical background.The name of Kyaikhtiyo Pagoda is Mon word “Kyaik-isi-roe’ in origns. It means “The Pagoda carried on the head of hermit”.According to the legend of the pagoda, during the lord Buddha who visit to thaton, The three hermit,Teiktha Thiha and kaylartha living on these hill requested thr lord Buddha to give them strands of his hairs.So Lord Buddha gave two strands of his hair to each hermit. The eldest hermit Teiktha living on Kyaikhtiyo Hill wished to keep the scred hair on his body .So he kept the two relic hair on his head among his hair.

Shwethalyaung Pagoda is a little km from raliway station.It was donated by king Migadepa in 994 AD.It is 55 meters long and 16 meters high, it is a good nine meters longer than the reclining Buddha at Wat Po in Bangkok.Continuing beyond the Shwethalyaung Pagoda brings you to the great stupa.That is Mahazedi Pagoda.
In this world, every country has it’s own beliefs , customs and culture when you study about the different ways of life of the people living there, you have to find out their beliefs,customs and culture by visiting to the relgious edifices and institutions such as pagodas,churches temples and culture places.It is possible that when a belief has been generally effected and established among the people and contributed to the welfare of it’s society, it may become a custom accepted by its own people. Myansmar Buddhists express deep resept for the religion by refraining from wearing footware and also going around the pagoda in clockwise when we go to the pagoda.On the platform,shrine halls,pavillions and at the plantary posts of the shwedagon pagoda the pilgrams are donating the offertories to the Buddha. We believe that this is a kind of Dhana or Charity and there is a meaning in very offering.It is believed that offerings flowers is for physical beauty,candel is for wisdom, incense stick is for fame,umbrella is for living in peacefullness,bell is for sweet voice, applying gold leaf on Buddha statue is for health and pouring water on Buddha statue of planetary post is for purity your mind. And then,We paying homage three times by touching the ground with the five parts of the body is the traditional way of giving repest to the Buddha. The first time is for the Buddha, the second times is for the Dhama and thirt times is for the Sangha.It is rite and ritual of the Myanmar Buddhists.
Botataung Pagoda means the Pagoda of one thousand military officers. According to the legend, 2000 years ago, King Occalapa and his thousand of army officer awaited for the arrival of scared hair of Lord Buddha at this place. So as to commemorate that event, this pagoda was constructed at the place by the king Occalarpa and his officers.
It was distroyed by bombing in 1943. In 1947 , during the clean up work, a golden shape of a stupa was found and it contained a hair and two other relics of the Buddha.In addition about 700 gold, silver and Bronze statues were uncovered,even ancient incription surface the earth fired.The Pagoda was reconstructed in 1948 as same as former type but holed type.
In our country, majority of population are Buddhists. Other are Islam, Hindu, Christians and so on. Buddhisim has been thriving in Myanmar since 11th century or perhaps even earlier.Buddhisim can be classified into two categories. There are Theravada Buddhism and Mahayana Buddhism. Thervada means the following of the discourses of Ascetic but known to the European as “Small Vehicle” and Mahayana means “ Great Vehicle”. Myanmar Theravada Buddhists believe that Theravade tradition most closely adhere to the original teaching of the Buddha. Myanmar Buddhism is depended on the law of karma. It is cause and effect. Karma means all actions.Good karma has good result and bad karmar has bad result.If a man does a good deed of thinks a good thought, the effect upon him is to increase the tendencies tower goodness in him.
The reclining Buddha image was built in 1907 by the Myanmar richman merchant.It was demaged in 1956 by disaster and banyan trees were growing on it.And it was reconstruited it in 1966 in the same former position.
The measurement of this image is 70 meter lounge, breadth is 16 meter. It was built with brick and cement. This image’s eye-balls are made of glass. There are 71 upper eyelashes and 60 lower eyelashes around the one eye. A chinese artist painte the design on the face of two eye-balls.The head of the image was built in hollow structure according to the engineering point of view. One of the relic chamber was put in the head.

Formula regarding changes of weight due to moisture content
Weight loss percentage of paddy = mi-mf/100-mf x 100
mi = percentage of original moisture content
mf= percentage of final moisture content
eg. In case original moisture content is 17% and final moisture content is 15%
Weight loss percentage for 100 paddy basket will be = 17-15/100-15 x100 = 2.35%
