Kambawzathardi Pagoda, also known as Kambawza Thardi Pagoda or Kambawza Thadi Pagoda, is a famous pagoda located in Monywa, a city in central Myanmar. It is one of the most important religious sites in the country, known for its impressive architecture and historical significance.

The pagoda was built during the reign of King Bodawpaya in the late 18th century, and is named after his wife, Kambawzathardi. The structure features a distinctive bell-shaped dome, adorned with intricate carvings and embellishments. At the top of the dome is a golden spire, which is illuminated at night and visible from miles away.

The interior of the pagoda is also quite impressive, with ornate decoration and a central shrine containing a Buddha statue. The walls of the pagoda are adorned with murals depicting Buddhist stories and legends.

In addition to its religious significance, Kambawzathardi Pagoda is also notable for its association with the legendary monk U Khanti, who lived in Monywa in the early 20th century. According to local legend, U Khanti was able to levitate and fly, and he used his powers to build a bridge from the pagoda to the nearby Thanboddhay Pagoda, another impressive religious site.

Today, Kambawzathardi Pagoda remains a popular destination for both tourists and locals. Visitors can enjoy the beautiful architecture and serene atmosphere, as well as the stunning views of the surrounding countryside. The pagoda is particularly busy during Buddhist festivals and other important religious events.
