RECLINING BUDDHA (SHWETHALYAUNG)

Bago has one of the longest reclining Buddhas in Burma: 16 m high and 55 m long. Represented with open eyes and fanned toes: resting position. Behind its scrap metal construction, the image, protected only since 1906, has been particularly damaged in the course of history. Erected in 996, first renovated by Dhammazedi and then abandoned again, it was not until 1880 that the Buddha was rediscovered and cleared of wild grasses.

L'immense bouddha couché de Sein Thar Lyaung Pagoda est impressionnant par sa grandeur ! Visite en plein soleil : ne pas oublier son chapeau !
