Shwethalyaung Buddhist Temple

The Shwethalyaung Reclining Buddha in Bago, Myanmar, is one of the largest and most magnificent reclining Buddha images I have ever seen. Built centuries ago, it showcases remarkable ancient architecture and exudes a serene beauty. The surrounding area adds to the experience, with numerous stalls offering a variety of local products at reasonable prices. I truly enjoyed this unplanned trip with my parents, making it a memorable visit.

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.

Beautiful reclining Buddha and very important temple for the local people who come here to pray. A lot of stalls where things are sold to the tourists and locals as well. We enjoyed our visit very much.

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.

Mustgo place in Bago. Famous and historic, many Buddhist tourists came to pay homage as well. the great artwork of laying Buddha Image and its embossed frescos are worth visiting.

Amazing historical reclining buddha image.The Shwethalyaung Buddha is one of the largest reclining Buddha images in Burma. It is housed in the Shwethalyaung Paya in Bago, an important pilgrimage site for Buddhists who come here to pay homage to the Buddha.

Reclining Buddha created in 994 A.D. by King Migadipa. On the back side, you can see the entire story behind the reason for building it.

Another reclining Buddha. This one supposedly more interesting than the other one. It's even got its own roof. I spend about three minutes inside. One guy was eyeing me like he was going to ask for my mandatory 10,000 kyat to be allowed into the sites of Bago, and this was definitely not the attraction to pay for that. I'll have to pay it eventually, but I'd rather do it some place more interesting
