Donation of money inside the Rajakumar stone inscription hall at Myazedi Pagoda in Bagan, Myanmar is prohibited

It has been informed by the Department of Ancient Archeology and National Museums (Bagan Branch) that visitors have been notified not to donate money inside the stone inscription hall where the Rajakumar stone inscription is housed at the Myazedi Pagoda, located in the village of Minywa in the ancient city of Bagan, and that responsible officials have conducted field inspections. Due to the faith and devotion of the Myanmar people, most domestic pilgrims visiting the Myazedi Pagoda tend to throw money inside the stone inscription hall where the Rajakumar stone inscription is located. As this stone inscription is a commemorative stone inscription of a World Heritage site, to prevent damage to ancient artifacts, to avoid obstructing researchers, domestic and foreign tourists, and those who wish to study the stone inscription, and to preserve the scenery, it has been decided that the stone inscription will be further covered with iron bars to prevent money from being donated inside the iron bars surrounding the stone inscription. It has also been notified that if visitors wish to donate at the Myazedi Pagoda, they should donate systematically only at the donation boxes and designated places set by the board of trustees. The Rajakumar stone inscription, inscribed in four languages, Pyu, Mon, Burmese, and Pali, is known as the most complete and earliest inscription in Burmese literature, and it is one of the stone inscriptions registered in the UNESCO Memory of the World Register in 2015.
