Thanboddhay Paya near Monywa, Myanmar
A completely amazing fairytale temple near Monya. One of my favourite Buddhist Temples in the world!
Thanboddhay Pagoda in Monywa (Myanmar)
The Thanboddhay Pagoda in Monywa constitutes one of the primary tourist attractions in Myanmar. A rainbow of colours flash in the sunlight from the glass mosaic set in the surface of the spires gives it a magical aura. The main stupa contains Buddha images of all sizes, from inch-high ones set in rows upon ascending rows on all available wall space, both interior and exterior. Huge images are enshrined within. The total number of Buddha images in this pagoda complex is nearly 600,000, or to be exact, 582,363.

Myanmar travel: Sagaing–Monywa–Mount Popa
Next part of my photographic journey through Myanmar:
The first stop at Sagaing Hills, the ancient site of Sagaing. Then along an agricultural area to Monywa with the nearby giant 116 m buddha statue, the second tallest in the world, the famous Thanboddhay Pagoda and the Po Win Daung Caves. Another boat trip was necessary to reach famous Mount Papa, the home of the Nats, the Burmese ghosts.

Video with images of the Hpo Win Daung Caves at Monywa a town in northern Myanmar on the eastern bank of the Chindwin River. It is the second largest town in northern Myanmar and serves as a major trade center for agricultural produce. Goods coming from India pass through Monywa on their way to other parts of Myanmar. Across the Chindwin River is a system of sandstone caves situated in a cleft in the Hpo Win Daung hills. The caves and the surrounding hills are named after U Hpo Win Daung, a famous alchemist who once lived among them.
The Hpo Win Daung Caves contain Buddhist statues, wood carvings and murals dating to the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Some of them may date as far back as the fourteenth to sixteenth centuries. There are dozens of large and small caves in the area filled with old Buddhas. It is said that there are over four hundred thousand images in these and other nearby caves. In the Win Kaba cave several statues of a seated Buddha are placed in a row right at the entrances of the cave. The cave is guarded by chinthes or mythical griffins carved from the stone of the rock. In the Myint Mo cave decorative mural paintings are still visible behind the Buddha statues.

Sagaing Hill with its numerous pagodas and monasteries was a plus.
21 Thanboddhay Pagoda, Monywa Disneyland of Buddhas, Myanmar (Burma)
We Said Go Travel About 20km South-east of Monywa built between 1939 and 1952, Thanboddhay Pagoda has over 500,000 Buddha images. Between the colors and the style it looks like a cross between Pastel Disneyland and a giant birthday cake. It was near the Standing Buddha so we went first to Thanboddhay and then to Boddhi-Tataung. In the morning we went to the Hop Win Daung Caves. (see the other movies)
