    Kuthodaw Pagoda (Burmese: ကုသိုလ်တော်‌ဘုရား, pronounced [kṵðòdɔ̀ pʰəjá]; literally Royal Merit, and formally titled Mahalawka Marazein မဟာလောကမာရဇိန်စေတီ) is a Buddhist stupa, located in Mandalay, Burma (Myanmar), that contains the world's largest book. It lies at the foot of Mandalay Hill and was built during the reign of King Mindon. The stupa itself, which is gilded above its terraces, is 188 feet (57 m) high, and is modelled after the Shwezigon Pagoda at Nyaung-U near Bagan. In the grounds of the pagoda are 729 kyauksa gu or stone-inscription caves, each containing a marble slab inscribed on both sides with a page of text from the Tipitaka, the entire Pali Canon of Theravada Buddhism.

    In a country with a million pagodas to visit, you need to look for distinguishing marks to differentiate between them. I remember Kyauktawgyi Pagoda because it had a big Buddha statue made of white marble. The statue's nails are also painted with gold leaf. The second mark is a dark blue and ornate gong in place of the classical bell. Looking at my pictures, I also remember very long and beautiful corridors connecting various parts of the temple.

    The majestic Kyauktawgyi Pagoda is an imposing sight to behold in Mandalay. Also known as the Great Marble Image, this Buddhist temple is home to a massive, intricately carved Buddha statue that seems to radiate serenity. Upon entering the pagoda grounds, you are immediately struck by the sheer size and splendor of the main shrine. The stonework is incredibly detailed, depicting intricate robes, jewelry and a peaceful expression. Surrounding the statue are numerous smaller shrines with images of guardians, disciples and mythical creatures. The high ceilings and abundance of light give an airy openness to the space. Intricate wood carvings and flashes of gold adorn the architecture. The craftsmanship of the Buddha statue is breathtaking while the atmosphere remains respectful and tranquil. It's easy to spend hours taking in the traditional Burmese architecture and observing the devotees. For an authentic cultural and religious experience, a visit to magnificent Kyauktawgyi is a must in Mandalay.

    (Translated by Google) A great pagoda that is definitely worth a visit. Entry was about $ 3. The pagoda was built between 1853 and 1878. The 15 m high, sitting Buddha is particularly beautiful. It is said to be made from a single block of marble weighing around 800 tons. The heavy block was transported by water from Sagyin to the shore in Mandalay, where around 10,000 workers brought it about 7 km via an artificially created water channel and rolling tree trunks to its present location. (Original) Eine tolle Pagode die auf jeden Fall einen Besuch wert ist. Der Eintritt hat ca. 3 Dollar gekostet. Erbaut wurde die Pagode in den Jahren 1853 - 1878. Besonders schön ist der 15 m hohe, sitzende Buddha. Angeblich ist er aus einem einzigen, etwa 800 Tonnen schweren Marmorblock gefertigt. Der schwere Block wurde über den Wasserweg von Sagyin bis zum Ufer in Mandalay transportiert und dort von ca. 10.000 Arbeitern etwa 7 km über einen künstlich angelegten Wasserkanal und rollenden Baumstämmen bis zum heutigen Platz gebracht.
