[Kushinagar, India, Myanmar Mahavihara] A tranquil space for prayer, Myanmar-style Buddhist architecture

Kushinagar, India, is the holy place where Buddha entered Nirvana. The Myanmar Temple (also known as Myanmar Mahavihara) quietly stands here, where Buddhists from all over the world make pilgrimages. The golden tower and Myanmar-style woodcarvings are eye-catching, making it a special spot where you can experience Southeast Asian Buddhist culture while in India. 👀Highlights✨ Elegant Myanmar-style architecture🛕 The temple is based on white and gold, recreating the typical Burmese architectural style. The roof layers are finely overlapped, and the tip of the spire is beautifully decorated. The marble Buddha statues and crafts brought from Myanmar invite visitors to the tranquility of a foreign land. The chapel inside is always well-cleaned, and there is a solemn atmosphere suitable for prayer and meditation. You can join the prayer at the Nirvana Stupa in the morning🙏 One of the greatest attractions of this temple is that you can participate in the prayer held at the Nirvana Stupa in the early morning. The sight of Burmese monks chanting in front of the statue of the reclining Buddha is a solemn moment that conveys the Buddha's final teachings to the present. Anyone can quietly participate, and it will be a special experience that will calm your mind during your trip. Photography lovers will also be satisfied! A picturesque spot📸 The golden stupa, lotus pond, and well-maintained grounds are picturesque no matter where you look.
