The facade is nice, though the colossal Buddha statues makes the passageway a bit tight.

Manuha Temple is a Buddhist temple built in Myinkaba (located near Bagan), by captive Mon King Manuha in 1067, according to King Manuha’s inscriptions. It is a rectangular building of two storeys. The building contains three images of seated Buddhas and an image of Buddha entering Nirvana. Manuha Temple is one of the oldest temples in Bagan.

About the same time Makuta, captive king of the Thaton Kingdom (his name is now corrupted into ‘Manuha’), must have built his colossal images at Myinpagan, where he was living in captivity, a mile S. of Pagan. “Stricken with remorse”, says the Glass Palace Chronicle, “he built a colossal Buddha with legs crossed, and a dying Buddha as it were making pariniruâna; and he prayed saying ‘Whithersoever I migrate in samsâra, may I never be conquered by another!’ The temple is called Manuha to this day.

Worth visiting. Built by the king Manuha of The Thaton (Mon) Kingdom after he was taken captive and lived in Bagan as a prisoner.

Interesting history can tell you about the relationship between two kings:King Anawratha and King Manuha but the view is not enough beautiful to take pictures. But it is one of a-must-places to visit for knowing more facts about bagan as the histroy of this temple can explain how King Anawratha died by the cause of the cursed jewel given by King Manuha.

King Anawrahta had attributed this temple to Manuha the conquered king of Thaton. It contains a seated image of Buddha with the right hand in the gesture of poignant and looking towards the east.

Amazing! Learn the story of the importance of the sizing of the statues while there or before. Must see in Bagan. The other right around the corner is worth a visit as well.

Nice 4 huge disproportionate buddhas, including one laying inthe back. A bit crowded and surrounded by noise. Totally worth a stop.

Manuha was Mon King who was King Anawrahta's captive.
The temple building seem to be unproportionally small for 3 Sitting Buddha images in front, different from one Reclining Buddha image at the back.

A nice temple with 3 Buddhas inside. 2 Buddhas are sitting and the one in the back of the temple is reclining. The large alms cup at the entrance is said to be carved from a single stone and to help ensure your wishes come true.

An extraordinary building. Western religious buildings, whether churches, synagogues, or mosques, are built to hold people. Only churches have images, and these are of secondary importance. Manuha is the apotheosis of a different tradition, the religious building built to house images. Its four rooms each hold a statue of the Buddha--with little room for anything else. The space for worshipers is less than a tenth of the floor space in each room, approximately half of volume of each room. Amazing.
