MYANMAR-RELIGION
Thousands of people take part in a consecration ceremony of the Uppatasanti Pagoda, a replica of Yangon's famed Shwedagon Pagoda, in Myanmar's administrative capital of Naypyidaw, 400 kilometres (250 miles) north of Yangon on March 8, 2009. The Uppatasanti Pagoda has been under construction since 2006 and stands 325 feet (99 metres) high, one foot shorter than the Shwedagon Pagoda, which was built more than 2,500 years ago. Thousands of people in this predominately Buddhist country have donated precious stones including diamonds, rubies, jade and pearls to adorn the new pagoda, which will be covered in gold foil.
