Gawdawpalin Temple
The Gawdawpalin Temple is a grand two-story temple built in the late Bagan style. It bears resemblance to the Thatbyinnyu Temple, constructed fifty years earlier in 1144.
The temple's lower cube, on a low platform, has a corridor with Buddha images on each side. The massive lower floor has three stepped terraces.
Inside the temple, you will find Buddha images on pedestals and several statues of Nat spirits. Although many of the temple's murals have faded, their presence contributes to the historical ambiance.
The temple grounds are enclosed by a surrounding wall with four entrance gates. The main entrance on the eastern side is guarded by two magnificent white lion statues.
Visiting the Gawdawpalin Temple allows you to appreciate the grandeur of its architecture and experience the serene atmosphere of this sacred site.
