Manuha Temple, located in Bagan, Myanmar, is a significant historical and religious site dating back to the 11th century. Built by the captive Mon King Manuha, the temple reflects his feelings of confinement and yearning for freedom. The structure houses three large seated Buddha images and a massive reclining Buddha, all of which are tightly enclosed within the temple’s walls, symbolizing the king’s own captivity. The temple's unique architectural style and poignant history make it a poignant example of the cultural and historical tapestry of Bagan.
