Chaukhtatgyi Paya (Chaukhtatgyi Buddha Temple)

Chaukhtatgyi Paya, located in Yangon, Myanmar, is home to a massive reclining Buddha encrusted with diamonds and other precious stones. The statue’s intricate detailing, particularly on the soles of its feet, which are divided into 108 segments—a sacred number in Burmese Buddhism—can be closely observed from a viewing platform. This allows visitors to appreciate the elegant craftsmanship and the deep spiritual significance embedded in every segment.
