Taungpula receives some thousands of pilgrims on prominent religious holidays

IN this year’s peak season, the visitor arrival to Taung­pula located at Watwun vil­lage-tract in PyinOoLwin Township has mounted to even some thousands, said a member of the trustee board, U Kyaw Soe.

 

The arrival of pilgrims to Taungpula has become large as of this year’s Thadingyut and shelters and tents for staying overnight have been provided free.

 

“Recently, we have re­ceived many pilgrims from Yangon, Mandalay, Bago and other regions and states. The visitor arrival generally in­creases on public holidays and prominent religious hol­idays, even some thousands on some days. We have pro­vided accommodation and photo-shooting sites for pil­grims,” U Kyaw Soe told the Global New Light of Myanmar.

 

In addition, the trustee board has received many phone calls saying they would like to visit Taungpula during the journey to PyinOoLwin flower festival which has been scheduled to celebrate in De­cember, he said. At Taungpu­la, breakfast, lunch and din­ner as free meals have been served for all visitors.

 

The arrival of pilgrims to Taungpula was also large in 2022-2023 peak season and it has been larger this year than last year. — MT/ZS
