After all the TV coverage of the President inaguration of the Global Vipassana Pagoda, Me and Deepthi decided to make a visit there. There are 2 ways to get to the Pagoda (near Esselworld, Gorai) 1. Via Ferry From Gorai Creek 2. Via road Bhayandar - Uttan - Gorai (details on site ) Good Things About the Pagoda
The 325 feet majestic monument really stands out and will surely drive more tourists.
Its the world’s largest stone dome built without any supporting pillars
Over 8k people can meditate inside the Pagoda.
Genuine Buddha relics enshrined in the Pagoda.
There are no entry fees or charges of any kind.
Free Bus from Car Park to the Pagoda
Located in a great location with great view and really breezy place.
Things to remember :
You cant meditate or enter the dome unless you have completed the 10 day vipassana course.
Visitors can just roam around the Pagoda and see the people meditating inside the dome.
Lotsa work is still pending and it resembles a big under construction project, It should be at least a year or two till everything looks like the pictures in the Brochures.
I will definitely wanna do the 10 day course subject to getting leave from work Some snapshots of the Global Pagoda
