Chaukhtatgyi Buddha Temple

#getgoing2025 The Chaukhtatgyi Buddha Temple, located in Yangon, Myanmar, is renowned for its massive reclining Buddha image, one of the largest in the country. The statue measures an impressive 66 meters (217 feet) in length. Originally built in 1907 as an open-air seated Buddha, the image was later reconstructed in its reclining form in the mid-20th century. The Buddha's serene expression and peaceful posture exude a sense of tranquility, inviting visitors to contemplate and reflect. One of the most distinctive features of the Chaukhtatgyi Buddha is its expressive face, particularly the large, lifelike eyes made of glass. The robe is intricately adorned with detailed pleats and folds, adding to the realism of the sculpture. The temple is an active place of worship, attracting both locals and tourists who come to admire the impressive Buddha and pay their respects. #myanmarbeenchanted #tourismdaily #chaukhtatgyibuddhatemple
