It is one of the most important Buddhist pilgrimage sites in Burma, and is said to contain two of the Buddha's hairs, as its name means Golden Hair Relic. At 99m (325 ft), it is one meter taller in height than Shwedagon Pagoda in Rangoon. Prome, renamed Pyay, is a town in Pegu (Bago) Division in lower Burma, located on the Irrawaddy (Ayeyarwady) River some 260 km northwest of Rangoon.
