#photolocation
The Mahabodhi pagoda within the city walls of old Bagan is a monument in a style that is unique to Bagan in Myanmar 🇲🇲 . The pagoda was build to resemble the Mahabodhi temple in India 🇮🇳.
The pagoda was built by King Nataungmya in 1215 AD and modelled after the Mahabodhi Temple in Bodh Gaya, India, the place where the Buddha attained supreme enlightenment some 25 centuries ago.
The lower structure was erected as a square block neither low nor high and above it is the square pyramidal shape tower. The Buddha image inside the Mahabodhi Temple is known as the restoration model after the earthquake disaster. One can see a ladder to go up and the mural plaques on the east wall of the upper arch gate.
People can visit the Mahabodhi Pagoda in the Bagan-NyaungU Ancient Cultural Zone of old Bagan and explore the architectural works of Buddha images, Inwa-era mural plaques and the structure of the pagoda, according to the Mahabodhi Pagoda Trustees Board.

Myanmar is home to a wide range of incredible Buddhist architectural styles. This is primarily due to the eclectic nature of Burmese Theravada Buddhism, which incorporates elements from a range of sources. Here's how to see the best examples in the country for yourself.
The sheer number of Buddhist structures dotted across the country leaves a lasting impression on visitors. Many Burmese Buddhist monuments are exquisitely beautiful. All reflect the legacy of Burma's Buddhist merit-making tradition. Building temples, shrines or stupas is seen as a way of improving rebirth conditions and compensating for transgressions committed in the present life. In addition, raising funds for a pagoda to be built earns the sponsor respect and status in the current life.

The Mahabodhi Temple is the only Indian-Bangladesh stupa in Bagan. I like this old feeling, the square base and the tapered top, so it is especially easy to be recognized at a glance.
I have to say that Bagan is also the place where I have the most dust. I go out every day and come back and touch my face. Its all gray. Its probably dusty and closer to the original ecology.

Every religion has its own most sacred place, like Mecca of Islam, Jerusalem of Christianity, and the place of Buddhism is Bodhgaya / hh in Bihar, India. About 2,500 years ago, a nobleman The prince put down his good life and began his own practice.

Dajue Temple. Every day, believers from all over the world practice here. The lecture ceremony is under the largest Bodhi tree in the temple. There are no good restaurants in Bodhiga, even the hotel is the standard of our domestic 5-6 city, but the most Buddhist holy place, it is recommended to see it.
