Maha Myat Muni Temple, Buddhist temple in Kengtung, Myanmar.
The Maha Myat Muni Temple features traditional Shan-style architecture with gold lacquer decorations on its walls and ceiling, located at a central roundabout.
The temple construction started in 1920 under Sao Kawng Kiao Intaleng's commission and concluded in 1926, establishing a major Buddhist center in Shan State.
The temple houses a significant gold replica of the Mahamuni Buddha from Mandalay, serving as a central pilgrimage destination for Buddhist practitioners.
Regular face-washing ceremonies of the Buddha image occur two to three times monthly, following the same tradition as the original Mahamuni Temple.
The temple's Buddha replica traveled over 700 kilometers by bullock cart through mountains and crossed the Thanlwin River by raft to reach its destination.
