Burma which is also known as Myanmar can be explained as a jewel. The place has remained hidden for several years. But recently Burma is opening up to the world while exposing amazing natural beauty and also an incomparable cultural heritage.
Burma’s civilization is more or less 2,500 years old. This is popularly known as magical and mysterious land with glorious temple architecture. Temples are situated in the midst of a dateless and magnificent landscape. The visitors in Burma or Myanmar always experience inquisitive, hospitable and very friendly people. They are always willing to share their captivating culture.
Not less than 5,000 monuments which is a testament to Bagan are scattered over the forty two square kilometers. The location is the Irrawaddy riverbanks. Bagan is as a previous centre of Buddhist spirituality and also learning.
From 1044 to 1287, the kings of Burma dedicated their considerable resources and energy in building different temples and pagodas. On the banks of the Ayeyarwady River, hundreds of pagodas and temples are present while lots of other great palaces were crumbled away and also burnt down.
Bagan is a World Heritage Site in South East Asia. You can only compare this with Angkor Wat in Cambodia. Bagan is framed on the both sides of Ayeyarwady River. Here you cannot see any two monuments are same. These are extremely original in design and also the conception is purely unique.
Bagan has all the criteria to attract any tourist. You can ask any visitor who has saw the sun rise or sun set here and what is his experience?
These temples are empty now. These are usually destroyed by man or struck down by nature. You can see that the reverberating bells or the communities of chanting monks have moved on.
This is a real wonder that how man was able of making such a enormous city of spiritual monuments.
