Burma / Myanmar: Mahabodhi Temple, Bagan (Pagan) Ancient City

The Mahabodhi Temple was built in the mid-13th century during the reign of King Htilominlo, and is modelled after the Mahabodhi Temple in Bihar, India.

Bagan, formerly Pagan, was mainly built between the 11th century and 13th century. Formally titled Arimaddanapura or Arimaddana (the City of the Enemy Crusher) and also known as Tambadipa (the Land of Copper) or Tassadessa (the Parched Land), it was the capital of several ancient kingdoms in Burma.
