Mahazedi paya
In the Western part of Bago is the Mahazedi, which translates to Great Stupaa, a pagoda built to enshrine a Buddha tooth relic.
The Mahazedi was built in 1560 by King Bayinnaung of the Taungoo dynasty. Bayinnaung, one of Burms greatest Kings ordered construction of the pagoda to enshrine a sacred tooth relic of the Buddha which he obtained from Sri Lanka.
Although the relic later turned out to be a fake with the real tooth relic of Kandy still in Sri Lanka, the relic was enshrined in the pagoda in 1576. In the early 17th century the tooth was moved to the Kaunghmudaw Pagoda in Sagaing, where it remains to the current day
