📝 Description: “Ananda Temple… is a temple where faith lies not only in the Buddha image itself, but also in the light that filters through every stone window. 🕊️ Ananda Temple is one of the most complete temples in Bagan. Built during the reign of King Kyansittha as a symbol of wisdom, the temple begins with a walk to admire four standing Buddha images, facing four directions, representing the four Buddhas of different eras. Continue to admire the stucco patterns and murals, which have remained beautiful despite the passage of time. Natural light filtering through the stone windows gently reflects off the Buddha images. It's a sight to behold. Stay at Bagan Lodge or Ananta Bagan Hotel for a tranquil atmosphere, a million-dollar view, and close proximity to ancient sites. Ananda Temple is more than just a temple… it's a lesson in peace, faith, and beauty that doesn't need much explanation.”
