The Shwethalyaung Temple (Template:Lang-my [ʃwèθàljáʊɰ̃ pʰəjá] is a Buddhist temple in the west side of Bago (Pegu), Myanmar.
Shwethalyaung Buddha statue
The Shwethalyaung Buddha is a reclining Buddha statue. The Buddha, which is the second largest in the world at a length of 55 metres (180 ft) and a height of 16 metres (52 ft), is believed to have been built in 994.[1][2] It was lost in 1757 when Pegu was pillaged.[3] During British colonial rule, in 1880, the Shwethalyaung Buddha was rediscovered under a cover of jungle growth. Restoration began in 1881, and Buddha's mosaic pillows (on its left side) were added in 1930.
