Rising gracefully above the Gorai peninsula in northern Mumbai, this shimmering golden monument is dedicated to peace and non-sectarian Vipassana meditation. Modeled after Myanmar's revered Shwedagon Pagoda, its monumental 96-meter-high structure features the world's largest unsupported stone dome spanning 85 meters. The vast pillar-free meditation hall seats over 8,000 practitioners and houses authentic bone relics of the historic Buddha.
Highlights
