Gawdawpalin Temple, Buddhist temple in Bagan, Myanmar.
Rising 55 meters high, the Gawdawpalin Temple features two stories with multiple terraces, Buddha statues, and ornate carvings on its pediments and entrance gates.
The construction of this religious structure began in 1203 under King Sithu II and reached completion in 1227 during King Htilominlo's reign.
The temple belongs to the hollow gu-style architectural category, designed for meditation and Buddhist rituals with pointed arches and vaulted chambers.
The temple complex includes four entrance gates with the main access on the eastern side, marked by white lion statues and surrounded by a protective wall.
After sustaining damage in the 1975 earthquake, the temple underwent extensive reconstruction to maintain its position as the second tallest structure in Bagan.
