Mahamuni Pagoda is a Buddhist temple located in Mandalay, Myanmar. It is one of the most revered temples in the country and houses a 13-foot-tall seated Buddha statue made of solid gold. The statue is said to have been cast during the lifetime of Buddha himself and brought to Myanmar from ancient Mrauk-U. The temple was built in 1784 during the reign of King Bodawpaya and has undergone many renovations and expansions over the years.

The pagoda is a popular destination for pilgrims and tourists alike, who come to pay their respects to the Buddha statue and witness the daily rituals that take place at the temple. One of the most important of these rituals is the daily face-washing ceremony, where the statue is cleaned with water, soap, and perfumes. Only men are allowed to participate in the ceremony, as it is believed that women's touch would diminish the power of the statue.

The temple complex also includes several smaller shrines and buildings, as well as a large bronze bell that is rung to announce the daily ceremonies. Outside the temple, there are numerous souvenir shops and food stalls selling traditional snacks and souvenirs. The temple is open daily from early morning until late evening, and admission is free, although donations are welcome.
