Myanmar

Utha Kyaung Tite is a Buddhist monastery with a school for novices, located on the outskirts of Meiktilai. Whereas the school buildings consist of more modern structures, the temple complex has a number of older structures too.

 

Included are several pagodas in various styles, set in a spacious garden adorned with some sugar palms and coconut palm trees. There is also a platform with a sacred bodhi tree.
