Pobbathiri Township, Naypyidaw, Myanmar
The Thatta Thattaha Maha Bawdi Pagoda is a magnificent religious landmark in Naypyidaw, built as a precise replica of the famous Mahabodhi Temple in Bodh Gaya, India. Standing 162 feet high, the complex recreates the seven sacred sites (Satta Sattaha) where the Buddha spent seven weeks after attaining enlightenment. It serves as a major pilgrimage destination for Buddhists seeking spiritual peace and historical reflection.
Visitors should wear modest clothing that covers shoulders and knees, and remove footwear in pagoda precincts. Exploring the surrounding replica sites of the Satta Sattaha offers a deeply spiritual experience.
