The Shwemawdaw Pagoda (Burmese: ရွှေမောဓော ဘုရား [ʃwè mɔ̀dɔ́ pʰəjá]; Mon: ကျာ်မုဟ်တ [tɕaɪʔmṵtú]) is a Buddhist stupa located in Bago, Myanmar.

At 125 m (410 ft) in overall height, the Shwemadaw is the tallest stupa in the country, and probably in Southeast Asia.

[note 1] The annual pagoda festival is a 10-day affair that takes place during the Burmese month of Tagu.

[5] The historical pagoda dates from at least the late 14th century when Pegu became the capital of Hanthawaddy.

In 1556, King Bayinnaung installed a hti spire umbrella with jewels from his crown, and built 52 stupas, signifying his age at the time.
