Central part of  the Older Brother's pagoda. This pagoda (situated in the complex of    
                    Shwedagon) is built where the first  pagoda was built 2 500 years ago. The pagoda 
                    had to shelter relics returned by 2 Burmese brothers who met Buddha during a journey to India.  
                    Thereafter, the relics were inserted in the new Shwedagon pagoda.
