I thought I was in Myanmar, not Maharashtra: What happened when I visited Myanmar Gate in Igatpuri

An offbeat explorer discovered the Myanmar Gate in Igatpuri, Maharashtra, a stunning replica of Burmese architecture gifted by Myanmar. This grand entrance to the Vipassana International Academy offers a serene, meditative atmosphere, transporting visitors to Southeast Asia without crossing borders. The gate, built in 1999, symbolizes cultural exchange and provides a peaceful escape.
