A zedi is in the shape of a bell. It is solid, meaning you cannot go inside. A relic of Buddha, which could be a small piece of very old hair, teeth, or bone from Buddha is buried inside the zedi. The zedi is important because it represents or is a symbol of Buddha, and it is a reminder to pray to Buddha.

		A pahto is in the shape of a rectangular prism. It is hollow, meaning you can go inside. The pahto is important because it is a place to go to pray to Buddha.
				Inside a pahto, there is usually 1 hallway on each of the 4 sides of the building.		In each hallway, there is usually a large statue of Buddha.

In the Buddhist religion, there is no special day of the week to visit the zedi or pahto. People come to pray on any day at any time from morning until night. Around a zedi and in a pahto, people take off their shoes and walk barefoot. People sit on the floor to pray. Sometimes, people pray silently, sometimes, people pray quietly outloud.
