Why to visit Global Vipassana Pagoda

The Pagoda is a meditation hall that was first built in February 2009 and was opened by Pratibha Patil, a former president of India. It was a group effort to disseminate Buddha's teachings, especially those related to appreciation. There are monks living there who have dedicated their lives to practising the Buddha's teachings.

In appreciation of Myanmar, a nation that has retained the practise of Vipassana, the architecture of the institution was designed in the Burmese architectural style. The Shwedagon Pagoda or Golden Pagoda in Myanmar is imitated by the pagoda's dome. 
Pagoda has organised ten days of free Vipassana meditation classes at the meditation centre in an effort to gain international recognition for their sessions. The guest homes created inside the campus make for a pleasant and comfortable stay for individuals seeking spiritual enlightenment.

A statue of Buddha is located all around the meditation area. It was carved from a single piece of white marble and painted to make it look more realistic.
