Discover the four sitting Buddhas at Kyaik Pun Pagoda, who sit 27 m (90 ft) tall facing different directions. Although seemingly the same, the four Buddhas have different facial expressions, decorated nails, and other small details to look out for. The legend says that the four statues were connected with four Mon sisters, who made a vow to never get married. If any broke the vow, the pagoda would collapse. An earthquake in 1930 did destroy one statue, but reconstruction brought the pagoda back to its previous glory.

The pagoda shows 4 giant Buddha’s one racing in each direction. It’s great for some cool photos, but you can probably get around the whole thing in about 10 mins

It is often found that inside the pagoda there are four statues of a Buddha looking in different directions, but here the statues themselves form the walls of the pagoda.

If you are in Bago and on the lookout for more pagodas to visit, Kyaik Pun Pagoda distinguishes itself from others in the city with a giant four-sided Buddha statue that's out in the open. It won't take you long to cover this relatively modest location.

Wonderful historic four huge buddha images in four opposite directions. The Kyaik Pun Pagoda is a small Buddhist monastery near the town of Bago, known for its four towering images of the Buddha visible from far away. The impressive 27 meter high images are out in the open, without shelter from the elements by any covering temple structure. The Kyaik Pun Pagoda was built in 1476 by Dhammazedi, a devout Buddhist and King of the Mon Kingdom of Hanthawaddy (Pegu). The Kyaik Pun Pagoda or Kyaikpun Paya is an active place of worship; the images are highly revered by Laotian Buddhists who come to pay their respect.
