Amongst over 2000 surviving monuments in Bagan, this Pagoda is the one which has very close similarity with the Maha Bodhi Pagoda at Bodhgaya of India. Like the Maha Bodhi at Bodhgaya, this pagoda faces East and there is in the ground floor a Buddha image with the right hand in earth-touching posture and a similar one in upper storey. There are several niches on the faces of the Sikhara. Inside them are Buddha statues with different postures- standing, sitting, and reclining, totalling 469 statues.
