Kalyani Ordination Hall, Buddhist ordination hall in Bago, Myanmar.
The ordination hall contains ten sandstone pillars with inscriptions in Pali and Mon languages, documenting essential Theravada Buddhist historical records.
King Dhammazedi of the Hanthawaddy Kingdom established the hall in 1476 to address internal divisions within the Buddhist monastic community.
The hall maintains its function as a center for Buddhist ordination ceremonies where monks receive their formal training following ancient traditions.
Visitors can access guided tours of the hall, which include detailed explanations of the inscriptions and architectural elements of the structure.
The name Kalyani originates from the Kelani River in Sri Lanka, where Myanmar monks traveled for re-ordination before establishing this hall.
