Bodhi Tataung

The name of this vast hillside buddha-rama, Bodhi Tataung, deciphers as '1000 Buddhas'. Be that as it may, for most guests, just two of them truly tally. Opened in 2008, the glinting 424ft standing Buddha is the second tallest on the planet in the wake of Spring Temple Buddha in China, and it completely commands the scene for miles around. Inside the multistorey middle, apparently relentless stairways interface painted displays, numerous lower ones portraying grim scenes from hellfire that are not by any stretch of the imagination appropriate for youthful youngsters.

The statue has 31 stories, said to speak to the 31 planes of presence, however access past the 25^th floor was blocked when we went through. Let down the slope relax a somewhat littler yet at the same time gigantic 312ft leaning back Buddha. It's not really refined and the dim inside contains inadequately looked after tableaux. Under development, it is a huge situated Buddha, which will finish the kitschy trifecta.

Note that both monster Buddhas confront west, so for the best light arrangement a visit in the late evening. In case you're feeling motivated, the Bodhi Tataung site has numerous other minor interests, including an entire garden of indistinguishable sitting Buddhas under solid parasols, and the plated 430ft stupa Aung Setkya Paya, which has stunning perspectives from its upper edge, came to by means of an inward path.
