Myathalun Pagoda, Buddhist temple in Magway, Myanmar.

Myathalun Pagoda is a Buddhist temple in Magway that stands on the banks of the Irrawaddy River and features traditional Burmese architecture with golden decorations. The structure rises prominently from the riverbank and displays the distinctive design elements typical of temples in this region.

The temple suffered major damage from an earthquake around 1847 and underwent complete reconstruction afterward. This rebuilding shaped the structure that stands today on the riverbank.

The pagoda serves as a gathering place for Buddhist practitioners who come to pray and participate in religious ceremonies throughout the year. It holds spiritual importance for the local community and visitors seeking deeper connection with their faith.

The temple is accessible daily and sits directly along the river, making it easy to explore the surrounding area. Local transportation options connect the site to central Magway.

The temple is notable because its height has been increased multiple times throughout history, growing in stages across different periods. These physical changes reflect how the structure was expanded through various construction phases.
