EDITORS COMMENTS
Taungoo, also known as Toungoo, is a historic city located in the Bago Region of Myanmar (formerly known as Burma). This photograph, estimated to have been taken around 1908, captures the serene beauty of Taungoo as it once was. The city is renowned for its impressive pagodas and stupas, which are integral to the Burmese Buddhist culture. In the foreground of the image, we see a raised stupa, its golden spire reaching towards the sky. Surrounding it are houses built on stilts, a common architectural feature in Myanmar. The houses, with their wooden walls and thatched roofs, offer a glimpse into the traditional way of life in Taungoo during that era. The city of Taungoo has a rich history, having served as the capital of the Hanthawaddy Kingdom in the 15th and 16th centuries. It was later ruled by the British during colonial times. Today, Taungoo remains an important religious and cultural center, attracting visitors from around the world who seek to explore its ancient temples and learn about its fascinating history. This photograph provides a window into the past, offering a glimpse of Taungoo as it looked over a century ago. The peaceful scene, with the stupa standing tall amidst the stilt houses, is a testament to the enduring beauty and resilience of this historic city in the Bago Region of Myanmar.
