Kanbawzathadi Palace, Royal palace in Bago, Myanmar.

The Great Audience Hall features rows of massive teak pillars supporting the roof, with the entire interior covered in gold paint.

Built in 1556 under King Bayinnaung's reign with 76 apartments and halls, the palace burned down in 1599 and underwent reconstruction from 1990 to 1992.

The palace contains 135 teak pillars inscribed with Mon language text, recording names of towns, regions, and donors from the 16th century.

Located south of Shwemawdaw Pagoda, the palace opens daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM with an entrance fee of 4 USD per person.

Excavations at the site uncovered nearly 2,000 Buddha images and hundreds of original teak pillars, now displayed in the adjacent Nandawya research museum.
