Htukkanthein Temple, Buddhist temple in Mrauk U, Myanmar
The temple contains a central bell-shaped stupa with a mushroom-shaped crown, surrounded by four smaller stupas at each corner of the structure.
King Min Phalaung completed the construction of Htukkanthein Temple in 1571, incorporating military design elements for protection during periods of conflict.
The temple houses 180 Buddha statues, with one central figure and 179 smaller images positioned along corridors adorned with donor sculptures.
Visitors need flashlights to navigate the dark interior passages that spiral inward through three chambers toward the central meditation space.
A strategically placed square window in the central dome allows sunlight to illuminate the main Buddha statue specifically during sunrise hours.
