The Global Vipassana Pagoda is a symbol of peace and harmony in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. It is located in the Gorai region, north-west of Mumbai, and serves as a meditation hall near Gorai Beach. This grand structure stands as an homage to Vipassana meditation and its founder, S.N. Goenka, as well as Lord Buddha. The pagoda was inaugurated in 2009 and is considered one of the seven wonders of Maharashtra for its architectural beauty and cultural significance. With a height of about 96 meters, it is one of the tallest pagodas in the world. The central dome, with its impressive dimensions, has the capacity to seat over 8,000 people. The pagodaâ€™s design is inspired by the Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon, Myanmar. It also contains genuine bone relics of Gautama Buddha, making it a revered site among followers. The architecture incorporates traditional Burmese design with modern engineering feats, and the entire structure is made without the support of any pillars. This monument not only offers an opportunity for meditation and inner peace but also provides a panoramic view of the surrounding landscape, including the Arabian Sea.
