Kyaik Pun Paya, Buddhist pagoda in Bago, Myanmar.
Four 27-meter tall Buddha statues stand back to back against a central brick post, each facing one of the cardinal directions at Kyaik Pun Paya.
King Dhammazedi constructed the Kyaik Pun Paya in 1476 during his reign of the Mon Kingdom of Hanthawaddy, establishing it as a religious center.
The four Buddha statues represent Kakusandha, Konagamana, Kassapa, and Gautama Buddha, each positioned in the Bhumisparsha mudra position calling Earth to witness.
Located one mile south of central Bago, the pagoda opens daily from 6 AM to 6 PM, with a required archaeological zone entrance fee of 10 USD.
A local tradition connects the pagoda to four Mon sisters who supervised its construction, with a prophecy stating one Buddha would fall if any sister married.
