Nga Htat Gyi Pagoda
Across from Chaukhtatgyi, Nga Htat Gyi centers on a seated Buddha dressed in royal ornaments. Visit both temples to compare two very different devotional images.
The huge crowned figure rewards a close look at its jewelry, posture and decorated throne. Its setting in the Ashay Tawya monastery compound also shows a living place of worship. Pair it with the nearby reclining Buddha, but allow a separate stop: the scale, iconography and atmosphere are distinct.
What to look for
A crowned seated Buddha fills the roofed hall.
The figure’s royal ornaments differ sharply from Chaukhtatgyi’s reclining image.
Useful to know
Combine with Chaukhtatgyi across the road.
Dress respectfully and check current visitor access.
