Nga Htat Gyi Pagoda, Buddhist temple in Yangon, Myanmar.

The temple contains a substantial white Buddha statue measuring 16 meters in height, positioned in the Bhumisparsha mudra upon an ornate pedestal.

The construction of Nga Htat Gyi Pagoda commenced in the 1910s following the completion of its primary Buddha image in 1900.

The entrance walkway features traditional paintings depicting Buddhist narratives, including interpretations of heaven, hell, and stories from the Jataka tales.

The temple maintains operating hours from 6 AM to 8 PM daily, with an entrance fee of 2000 Kyat for international visitors.

The central Buddha statue sits within an iron pavilion, adorned with a golden robe and backed by wooden panels decorated with precious stones.
