The Lawka Nanda Paya is a beautiful golden pagoda on top of a small hill near the Irrawaddy river. In ancient Pali language, it means “Joy of the world”.
Lawka Nanda pagoda was built in 1059 by the founder of Bagan empire King Anawrahta.
It enshrines a replica of a tooth relic of the Gautama Buddha from Sri Lanka.
Buddhist temple is the place of worship for Buddhists, the followers of Buddhism. They include the structures called vihara, stupa, wat and pagoda in different regions and languages. Temples in Buddhism represent the pure land or pure environment of a Buddha.

This one of the Swal Taw Lay Su that when you go and pray there within one day , the wish you make with come true. U can see That Kyi Taung Pagoda from here . You can see there has selling Myitzutaka dry flower which is sweet in taste and u should try this. Please aware that firstly ask the price of food or item before u want to buy to avoid cheaters who ask u to give high price after u purchasing or eating it.
A stupa on a small hill looking over the majestic Irrawaddy river. At its feet is a small bustling collection of food stalls selling tea, pea rice topped with a luscious fried egg, steaming milk, grilled shrimp, corn on cob, and fried baby shrimp fritters. A great stop for breakfast and prayers while temple running around Old Bagan.
The stupa is currently covered in scaffolding so not at it's best. In a great location on the banks of the Irrawaddy. There's a large fish pond across the road from the temple which has a viewing platform extending into the middle. Worth a look. An opportunity to feed the fish.
Great place to visit because of the view from river bank

Beautiful structure pagoda located close Irrawaddy river. Especially, Sunset view is most beautiful from this location.
Very nice river view. Probably the best place to view sunset.
one of famous pagoda in bagan
It is an historical place. It is also heart of Bagan
King Anawrahta built 4 pagodas in each direction of Bagan, this Lawkananda was the south one.
If in New Bagan a visit to the Lawka Nada temple is a must. It stands in a commanding position over looking the Ayeyarwaddy river.
Beautiful view of sunset across Ayerwaddy river & the distant hills.
good for river view sunset seeing
LoKa NanDa Pagoda is located at the river bank of Ayerwaddy and it has much, nice scenery beauties as the one of the best places to visit.
Nice little market outside the pagoda. The pagoda itself is unimpressive but the riverfront backdrop makes up for it. Nice at sunset.
