The Bawgyo Pagoda (Burmese: ဘော်ကြိုဘုရားကြီး) is a Buddhist temple in Hsipaw, Myanmar. Built in the 12th century, the temple is located in Bawgyo village, several miles from the town of Hsipaw.[1] Every March, the temple is the site of a Buddhist festival that commemorates the pagoda's founding.[1][2][3]
From 1995 to 1996, the pagoda was significantly renovated, under the direction of Khin Nyunt.[4]
