About One Pillar Pagoda in Hanoi

Located in Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, One Pillar Pagoda is regarded to be one of the most significant temples of the country. The Pagoda is made out of wood on a single pillar of stone, which is 1.25 metre in diameter and 4 meters in height. Thus it got the name ‘one pillar’ pagoda. The design resembles a lotus blossom, which again, is a Buddhist symbol of purity. But it also has its roots in the One Pillar Pagoda history.

The temple was originally built by the Emperor Ly Thai Tong. Thus, One Pillar Pagoda architecture is featured with the Ly style of designs. The emperor Ly Thai Tong was the ruler between the years 1028 and 1054. The lack of a child and heir plagued Ly Thai Tong until one night in his dreams he met the Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara. He handed him a baby son while sitting in his serene posture on a lotus flower. After this, the emperor married, and his wife bore him a son, in gratitude for which he constructed the One Pillar Pagoda temple in 1049.

The temple itself has been renovated many times, but the most recent occurrence was in 1955 during the evacuation of France. If one visits Vietnam, One Pillar Pagoda in Hanoi is a site that should not be missed out on; given that it remains one of the most revered and respected sites, and has a beautiful garden which is the perfect place to indulge in tranquil contemplation. There is a shrine located inside the pagoda which is to worship the Vietnamese Buddhist deity Quan Am.

One of the major attractions in the pagoda is the famous Bo tree. It grows behind the pagoda and is said to be the offshoot of the Banyan tree under which Buddha attained enlightened in Bodh Gaya. The tree was gifted to Vietnam by Government of India as an act of goodwill in 1958.

    Bhupendra's 8 days trip to Hanoi

    We had an amazing friends' trip to Vietnam with BambooHat, and it turned out to be an unforgettable experience! Sophie from BambooHat was our point of contact, and we found her one of the most supportive and dedicated tour operators I've ever had in my any tour so far. Initially, we were a bit unce
    rtain since Sophie is based in Vietnam — we wondered what we’d do if anything went wrong on their end. But from the moment we arrived, she went above and beyond to take care of even the smallest details. She was always available, attentive, and quick to respond to all our questions. At one point, we had a minor issue with the staff on our Halong Bay cruise. I reached out to Sophie late at night, and she immediately got in touch with the cruise management, followed up early the next morning, and ensured everything was sorted smoothly. Sophie, this is especially for you — we couldn’t have imagined such a flawless and joyful Vietnam tour without your constant support. A big thank you to you and your team! I’m already looking forward to booking more Indochina adventures with you. Get ready with those itineraries! Keep doing amazing work and help the world see your beautiful country. VIETNAM
