A rare Indian-style Buddhist temple in Myanmar: Mahabodhi Temple

#2024Travel Review The Buddhist temple #Mahabodhi Temple next to the hotel in Bagan is a white pointed conical pagoda. The pagoda is full of Buddhist niches, and each frame is filled with Buddha statues. It is very un-Burmese style. It is said that it was built by King Hitlominlo in the 13th century. , modeled after the Mahabodhi Temple in Bengal, India, where the Buddha first attained enlightenment, it is an Indian-style Buddhist temple. The Mahabodhi Temple is small and admission is free, but you need to take off your shoes. It is quite empty inside. When you look up, you can see a cave. This is how it is described. But to be honest, the appearance of the Buddhist temple is more interesting and beautiful. Resembling a white-pointed stupa, hundreds of small niches decorate the outer walls and the aforementioned tower, each containing a small Buddha statue. The Mahabodhi Temple is really special. Its appearance is very different from the thousands of pagodas in Bagan. You can stop and admire it when you pass by. #MyanmarTravel #BaganKingdom
