Bawbawgyi Stupa

Bawbawgyi is a tall cylindrical Pyu stupa in the Sri Ksetra archaeological landscape near Pyay. Its early form contrasts with the later temples elsewhere in Myanmar; restoration work may affect close viewing.

Why go

Its simple, early form helps show a different architectural era from Bagan’s later temples. UNESCO documentation places Bawbawgyi among Sri Ksetra’s notable cylindrical pagodas. A May 2026 government report describes earthquake restoration, so check with the site authority before approaching and view only from areas confirmed safe.

What to look for

  • Observe the unusually tall cylindrical form.
  • Set it in the wider Sri Ksetra Pyu landscape.

Useful to know

  • Confirm restoration boundaries and safe visitor access before travel.
  • Keep to permitted paths and allow around 30–45 minutes for an exterior stop.
