Pho Win Taung Caves

In SIAMTRAILS over the course of our program Burma Temples Landscapes and the Pho Win Taung caves we'll show you a place of worship for Buddha. It appears to have been established in these rock formations around the eleventh century when King Anawrahta of Bagan invited King Bandawa to the consecration of Shewzigon Pagoda. During his journy he discovered this hidden place and decided to turn it into a place of worship to the Buddha figure. Hundreds of Buddha statues of all sizes are hidden under the caves and the beautiful murals give us an example of the importance of this sanctuary in the past.
