English: Shwesandaw Pagoda festival in Pyay, Myanmar
Pagoda festivals (Burmese: ဘုရားပွဲ) are regular festivals found throughout Burma (Myanmar) that commemorate major events in pagoda's history, including the founding of a pagoda and the crowning of the pagoda's hti (umbrella). Pagoda festivals are dictated by the Burmese religious calendar and often are held several days at a time.
During pagoda festivals, temporary bazaars (including food stalls and merchandise stands), entertainment venues (including anyeint dramas, yoke the performances, lethwei matches and arcades) are set up in the vicinity of the pagoda.
