Ananda Temple

The famous temple of Bagan - and one of the big ones on the tourist circuit. This one has many sculptures of Buddha and other gods, displayed in the walls of the pagoda. The glass is not very clean so hard to appreciate them fully. Also, some more write up would be nice. Very interesting temple as it has a museum feeling about it. Many paintings from the local artisans will feature this temple’s golden spire.

Described to us as the most beautiful temple in Bagan. It does not disappoint. It has received much attention and restoration. Besides the architecture, the huge amount of original statues is impressive.

Great details of history you could know if you manage to speak to the local tour guides. Their English is really good and they can share a lot of information on Burmese history, the temples/pagodas and the conservation process to recover the Ananda Temple. The intricacies as well as the details of the temple amaze me.

The best architecture among the Bagan pagodas. Architect students from Institute of Technology must have studied of Ananda Temple. Thanks to renovation done by Indian technicians a few months ago according to archaeological guidelines the look from outside is rather different from our previous visits.

This temple is just outside the walls of old Bagan and part of the newly proclaimed UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is well worth a visit because of the four large Buddha statues which are facing in four different directions, east, south, north and west. There are beautiful murals in this 13th century structure.
