The Big Buddhas At Kyaw Aung San Dar Monastery

Go big Buddha or go home. At Kyaw Aung San Dar Monastery south of Mandalay, they definitely chose the big option.

First up is lying down. Reclining Buddhas are popular in Southeast Asia, the bigger, the better. the ceiling groans under the space needed.


Details. Long wire eyelashes, doubling as anti-bird defense. Robe folds and hand.

Flower offering bench for scale.


Mystery solved, what the bottom of Buddha's feet look like. Unique. In another part of the property, standing and sitting Buddha, back to back.

Another giant sitting Buddha. "Bow down, white elephant!"
