Sleeping giant Budda in Yangon also called Chauk Htat Gyi Pagoda
Chauk Htat Gyi was built in the 20th century (about 1966) to replace the old image built in 1907 by Sir Hpo Thar. It is home to many Buddha images, in which one huge 6-storey image. The huge image is housed in an iron structure.
The striking feature of the pagoda is the 6-storey Buddha image which is larger than the image of the Reclining Buddha in Shwe Thar Hlyaung Pagoda.
The statue is surrounded by a huge number of small shrines devoted to Buddha. Visitors and pilgrims will pay homage to the main Buddha, offer flowers and candles.
This pagoda is the home to more than 600 monks studying Buddhist Scriptures from senior monks.
