Shwethalyaung Buddhist Temple

This is a place where Buddhists come to pray. It is an important place in Myanmar. And the temple area has a market selling souvenirs. I like many products here. We can negotiate prices with sellers. I bought a Burmese sarong to wear to visit the Shwedagon Pagoda. good products and good price negotiable.

Shwe Thar Lyaung Buddha - the reclining Buddha:
Exactly 54 years after my last visit I revisited this reclining Buddha Temple. It was the same.
In addition the images in the narration of the incidents that led to building of this reclining Buddha were depicted on the rear side. There was a time that the statue cannot be captured fully by any camera. Now sweep panorama enables to capture full image.

Big reclining Buddha's and a lot of shop

Shwethalyaung Pagoda in Bago, Myanmar, stands as an awe-inspiring testament to the country's religious and artistic heritage. This colossal reclining Buddha, stretching 55 meters in length, is a majestic sight that leaves visitors marveling at its grandeur and spiritual significance.

The sheer scale of Shwethalyaung Pagoda is breathtaking. The reclining Buddha, adorned in a golden robe, lies gracefully on a raised platform, creating a serene and contemplative atmosphere. The attention to detail in the statue's facial expressions and delicate adornments showcases the craftsmanship and devotion that went into its creation.

Stepping into the pagoda's precincts feels like entering a sacred realm. The surrounding gardens, meticulously maintained, add to the peaceful ambiance, providing a serene backdrop for contemplation and prayer. Pilgrims and visitors alike are drawn to the profound sense of spirituality that permeates the air.

What makes Shwethalyaung Pagoda particularly remarkable is its historical significance. Built in 994 AD and rediscovered in 1881 after years of being concealed by dense vegetation, the pagoda has withstood the tests of time, emerging as a cultural treasure that bridges Myanmar's past and present.

The cultural immersion continues with the adjacent museum, which houses artifacts and relics offering insights into the pagoda's history. The informative displays enrich the visitor experience, providing context to the religious and historical importance of Shwethalyaung.

The most recommended temple that has ANCIENT HUGE AND BEAUTIFUL RECLINING BUDDHA IMAGE.. it’s Worth to visiting.

This place is the first place I gave a 5 star in my review. Because there is a very unique factor. I will explain the difference. If I start talking about this, I will start telling a very special history. More than 700 years ago Buddhism has not flourished in this place yet. At that time, people were often killed in this place, and false doctrine prevailed. The king who ruled that place at that time also worshiped that idea. There used to be a huge Demon statue in this place. When the false idol was built, the king killed people and offered it to the false god. Among them is an princess .At the time of killing the princess a very strange thing happened. Princess focuses on God with the correct words of truth. The statue of demon was broken into pieces after Princess made her vow. Then the god you see now It was built by the king and the people of the country. I have heard that if you pray with good and true words, it is very full. I want to explain more than this. Please excuse my English.
