In the same way among the attractive destinations in Arunachal is the Golden Pagoda, or Khongmu-Kham in the local Tai Khamti language, stands besides the Patkai resort in Namsai.
Thousands of devotees, monks and followers of the Buddha throng every year to the temple as it is considered sacred and very significant.
It is to be noted that a pagoda is a tiered tower with multiple eaves, constructed in traditions originating as stupa in historic South Asia and further developed in East Asia or with respect to those traditions, common to Nepal, China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Myanmar, India, Sri Lanka and other parts of Asia.
