Le Myet Hna Temple, Buddhist temple in Mrauk U, Myanmar

The temple features a rectangular sandstone structure with vaulted entrances on each of the four sides and five stupas on its flat surface.

King Min Saw Mon, who established the Mrauk U Kingdom, ordered the construction of Le Myet Hna Temple in 1430 as one of the first religious buildings.

The temple houses 28 Buddha statues around the central column, representing the 28 Buddhas mentioned in the sacred Buddhist text Buddhavamsa.

The temple remains open to visitors throughout the day, with nominal entrance fees included in the Mrauk U archaeological site pass.

Eight stone Buddha images in the Bhumisparsha mudra position surround the central octagonal column, facing different cardinal directions inside the temple.
