Ananda Temple is a Buddhist temple built in 1091 during the reign of King Kyanzittha. It is located in Bagan, Myanmar. The name Ananda comes from the name of Buddha's cousin and personal secretary Venerable Ananda, although it was once known as Ananta Temple, coming from the phrase ananta pinya, which translates as 'endless wisdom'. The temple is built with adapted Indian architectural styles. The temple houses four standing Buddhas, which are adorned with gold leaf, with each facing a direction, from north to south. The temple is cruciform in shape, with several terraces leading to the top, which terminates with a small pagoda and an umbrella (hti). Along the sides of the terraces and the base of the temple are terra cotta tiles illustrating scenes from the Jataka. Also, there is a shrine of Kyanzittha and Shin Arahan.
The temple is also home to an annual festival that is held during the month of Pyahto (December to January).

Ananda Temple Bagan
The Ananda Temple, located in Bagan, Myanmar is a Buddhist temple built in 1105 AD during the reign of King Kyanzittha of the Pagan Dynasty.
It is one of four surviving temples in Bagan.
It is said that every Myanmar should visit Bagan and without visiting Ananda you cannot be said to have visited Bagan.
Ananda Temple is like a museum.
Bagan Temples in Bagan, Myanmar / Burma
The thousands of temples that are spread across the plains of Bagan are the most impressive testament to the religious devotion of Myanmar’s people – and rulers – over the centuries. They combine to form one of the richest archaeological sites in Asia and provide views quite unlike anywhere else on earth.
Whether you tour Myanmar by land, river cruise, hot air balloon, or trekking on your own two feet, the sites that may linger longest in your mind—not to mention your iPhone—are the temples of Bagan. From the golden domes of stupas to the cone-shaped pagodas with crowning ornamental towers, many of the shrines to Buddhism that you see today date back originally to the 4th century.
So where do you begin temple hopping in a country that once had 10,000 of them? The best place to start is the 26-mile plain of Bagan, also known as the Bagan Archaeological Zone.
Despite wars, invasions, and sackings, the Bagan landscape is dotted with some 2,000 of these ancient, sacred structures. Not surprising this region was and still is one of the most important Buddhist pilgrimage sites in Southeast Asia.
If time permits, start with an aerial view of the Bagan plain from a hot air balloon. It’s well worth the effort to rise early enough to see the magical sun rising over the many golden domes and spires. This drone-like view will give you a sense of the plain’s vastness. Book your balloon ride well in advance. The sky-high ride is extremely popular for Myanmar travelers, despite the cost of nearly $300 or more a person.
Next, put on your walking shoes and meander among the stupas, cave temples, and the pagoda towers. Then, to truly appreciate these marvels, choose three for a close-up, longer visit. (We suggest just three temples a day to avoid becoming numb to their beauty.) Take your time, and take it all in.
We’ve narrowed the array of temples to the following six. (If you have only a day, choose three from this list.) Save the best of the remaining 1,994 for future visits to Bagan.
1. Ananda Temple
Built in 1105, Ananda is one of the oldest temples and the largest, measuring 290 feet (a bit shorter than a football field) with pyramid-like terraces that reach 167 feet. Four towering golden Buddhas look out from the central cube in the four opposing directions. Doors of carved teak guard small Buddha statues in niches along the four entrance halls. Wall paintings, stone carvings, and elaborately decorated tiles cover each tier.
2. Kyanzittha Umin
This low, brick temple is built into a stone cliff near Shwesandaw Pagoda. It’s known for its fine frescos and paintings. No doubt some were created by the 12th century monks who lived there, but Mongol invaders in 1287 left their marks, too. You’ll notice paintings of Mongol nobles and warriors along the long, dark corridors. Although Kyanzittha Umin lies both within the cliff and outside, it is representative of Bagan’s characteristic cave temples.
3. Shwesandaw Pagoda
The bell-shaped stupa of sits on five receding terraces and towers 328 feet above the Bagan plain, making it even more imposing than the Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon.King Anawrahta, founder of the Bagan Kingdom, built the pagoda in 1057. Like most pagodas, this contains a religious relic—a hair of the Buddha—that was a gift to the King. Shwesandaw is sometimes called the Ganesh Pagoda for the stone statues of the Hindu elephant god, Ganesh that once guarded it.
4. Thatbyinnyu Pahto
Built in 1150, the tall spire atop the temple make it the tallest in Bagan. Climb up the three receding terraces 200 feet to see the Bagan plain in all directions. More than 500 depictions of the Jatakas (stories of the Buddha’s life) decorate Thatbyinnyu’s walls; and the intricate, tightly sealed brickwork is a temple hallmark.
5. Htilominlo Pahto
Built in 1218, it marks the spot where King Htilominlo was chosen to be the crown prince. Four large, golden Buddhas are ensconced on the upper floors of the massive 150-foot high structure, and the temple is topped with an ornamental spire from India. Some wall paintings, carved reliefs, and intricate plaster carvings that once covered the brick structure have survived earthquakes. Try to see it again from a distance at sunrise.
6. Gubyaukgyi Temple (Myinkaba)
In nearby Myinkaba is one of several of the region’s cave temples, built in the 12th century, around the time of the Ananda Temple and most others in Bagan. Like Ananda, Indian-style architecture predominates. What’s different, though, are the straight walls that distinguish it from most other monuments. Strategically placed windows light the inner walls and ceiling with sunlight. Many of these windows contain depictions of the Jatakas, stories of the Buddha’s former lives.

The Four Standing Buddha Images in the Ananda Temple,Bagan
The Ananda Temple in Bagan,Myanmar
The Ananda temple was erected by king Kyansittha in 1090 A.D.It is filled with Myanmar architectural mansonry so that the visitors from abroad extol its architectural beauty and splendor.
Unlike other shrine,which have only one main entrance,this temple has four entrances,four different directions so that it was built in the shape of a cross.Only one other religious temple,the Dhammayangyi was built in a similar shape.
The rectangular shaped wings on each side measure 200 feet wide with the entrance gate a little lower.The height of the shrine is about 172 feet.From one end of the wing to the other opposite end it is 289 feet.The walling from east to west is 596 feet,and from north to south is 592 feet.The shrine consists of seven tiers
There are three circular walkways.The extreme outer walkway is meant for all pilgrims,the middle one is for the royalty,and the innermost walkway is meant for monks.Towards the middle of the entrance there is stone tablet with the foot imprint of Buddha.This stone tablet is now surrounded by an iron grille.
Along the walkway one can see a lot of Buddha images in niches of the walls.Although the edifice is in the form of a cave,it is built in such a way that there is good ventilation and light within.It is said that there are altogether about 10000 lesser stupas on the entire edifice.
There are also a vast collection of green glazed terracotta plaques in the Ananda which depict Buddha's victory of Mara,the Evil spirit and his army and the Buddha's 550 lesser lives and 10 major lives of Jataka.
The entrance to each of the four porticoes is guarded by two door guardians seated on pedestals in arched riches.Within the portico itself,with its four huge pillars,a further two guardians guard the entrance to the main square block.
Inside the main block,two narrow vaulted corridors run parallel to each other along the four sides.Two tiers of small lancet windows along the thick walls provide a dim illumination creating the impression of being in a deep natural grotto.The block of masonry in the centre,which supports the superstructure above,Within these alcoves are standing Buddha images,31 feet high,their faces wonderfully illumined by light filtering in from dormer windows above.
Standing Buddhas
Kassapa -- South facing
Kakusandha -- North facing
Konagamana -- East facing
Gotama -- West facing
The four standing Buddhas are adorned withgold leaf and each Buddha image faces a direction, from north to south, stated to represent attainment of a state of nirvana; each is given a specific name, Kassapa (in Pāli),the third of the five Buddhas' of the present kalpa (the Bhaddakappa or 'Fortunate Aeon'),-- south facing, Kakusandha (in (Pāli),the name of the first of the five Buddhas of the present kalpa,-- north facing, Konagamana,the name of the second of the five Buddhas of the present era,--east facing, and Gotama facing west. Out of the four images, the images facing north and south are said to be original,of the Bagan-style depicting the dhammachakka mudra, a hand position symbolizing the Buddha's first sermon, while the other two images are new replacements, after the originals were destroyed by fires. All the four images are made of solid teak wood.
The original south facing Buddha (called the Kassapa) has a unique architectural display, as, when it is viewed from close quarters depicts a sad look. However, the same image viewed from a distance gives an expression of mirthfulness.
The east and west facing Buddha images are made in the later Konbaung or Mandalay style. The east-facing image of Buddha (known as 'Konagamana') is shown holding, between the thumb and middle finger,a small nutlike sphere --a herb. This herb is said to symbolically represent the Buddha suggesting dhamma (Buddhist philosophy) as a cure for misery and distress. In this mudra, both arms hang at the sides with palms stretching out. This mudra is not seen in traditional Buddhist sculpture outside this temple.
In the west-facing Buddha, titled Gotama, the abhaya mudra is displayed -- with hands outstretched in the gesture of fearlessness. At the feet of this Buddha two life-size statues made in lacquer, representing the crowned figure of King Kyanzittha kneeling piously in prayer, and Shin Arahan, the Mon monk who converted the King into Theravada Buddhism (meaning the Teaching of the Elders).

Bagan Travel Guide - Myanmar Unique Moments
Bagan is an ancient city and UNESCO World Heritage Site located in the Mandalay Region of Myanmar. Bagan, located on the banks of the Ayeyarwady (Irrawaddy) River, is home to the largest and densest concentration of Buddhist temples, pagodas, stupas and ruins in the world with many dating from the 11th and 12th centuries. The shape and construction of each building is highly significant in Buddhism with each component part taking on spiritual meaning.
Bagan became a central powerbase in the mid 9th century under King Anawratha, who unified Burma under Theravada Buddhism. It is estimated that as many as 13,000 temples and stupas once stood on this 42 sq km plain in central Myanmar, and Marco Polo once described Bagan as a gilded city alive with tinkling bells and the swishing sounds of monks' robes. Approximately 2,200 remain today, in various states of disrepair. Some are large and well maintained, such as the Ananda Pahto, others are small tumbledown relics in the middle of overgrown grass. All sites are considered sacred, so when visiting, be respectful including removing shoes as well as socks before entering or stepping onto them.
Bagan's golden age ended in 1287 when the Kingdom and its capital city was invaded and sacked by the Mongols. Its population was reduced to a village that remained amongst the ruins of the once larger city. In 1998, this village and its inhabitants were forcibly relocated a few kilometers to the south of Bagan, forming New Bagan where you will find accommodation in its handful of cheap, quaint, clean hotels and religious centers.
There are many places to eat in Old Bagan serving the traditional Burmese dishes, especially good old noodle soup. Some of the buffets are excellent; for about USD 4 you can eat to your heart's content from dozens of different traditional dishes. Most accommodation nowadays are found in New Bagan or Nyaung Oo. In Old Bagan, only some government-involved, luxury hotels remain. The most visited temples (but not necessarily the best) are located along the northern stretch of Nyaung Oo Rd. or at Nyaung Oo township and downwards before you arrive in Old Bagan. Don't forget that Bagan area and its 3000+ temples streches over a 20km x 20 km perimeter; if you really want to see and appreciate Bagan you'll need to rent a bike or a taxi or a horse cart, you can't do it on foot. Nyaung Oo town has the most budget accommodations.
You can take a hot air balloon ride at sunrise through 2 companies in Bagan one is called Balloons Over Bagan, around US$ 320 per person and the other is called Bagan Ballooning, US$ 350 per person with less people in the basket. The 2 companies operate from October till April.
A lot to see in Bagan such as :
Ananda Temple
Bupaya Pagoda
Dhammayangyi Temple
Dhammayazika Pagoda

Bagan Day 2 Best view point in Bagan, Shwezigon Temple, Ananda Temple and Golden Palace
Bagan is an ancient city and UNESCO world heritage site located in the Mandalay Region of Myanmar. We started our day off at 4.30am this morning by visiting the Bagan Tower viewing point, also known as Bagan Nan Myint Tower. Here, you can look over Bagans famous pagodas which come to life as the sunrises.
Most of the archeological sites are being shut down by UNESCO as tourists were damaging the pagodas by climbing up to view points. These are now under construction. The entrance fee costs us $5 per person and we got a perfect 360 degree view of Bagans pagodas and hot air balloons. We've rented an e-scooter for a few days to tour around Bagan and its famous temples/pagodas.
After the viewing tower, we drove to the Shwezigon temple followed by the Ananda temple. Don't forget to like and subscribe to our channel.

Bagan Day 1 Thatbyinnyu Temple and Gubyaukgyi Temple October 2019
Today we arrived in Bagan at 6am from Yangon on the nightbus and checked in at the Sweet Garden Motel. Our host, Sue is a sweet, caring and extremely helpful individual. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at her homestay. We hired an Escooter for a few days during our stay. We wasted no time and soon were off on the road to the Thatbyinnyu Temple and Gubyaukgyi Temple. A tiring day, but an eventful one! We drove off the main roads and found an old monastery which we climbed to get a view of the Pagodas in Bagan. I've put the coordinates in the video for the old monestary.
