What travelers say:

The Mobdhi Temple (Mahabodhi Paya) was built by King Diromino in 1215 and has a distinct Indian style, unique among the many pagodas in the Bagan region, which is impressive. The Mobdhi Temple is modeled on the most famous Mobdhi Buddha pagoda in Bodhigaya, India. It is said to be the place of enlightenment for Buddha and is the most famous Buddhist holy place in India. The spire of the pagoda is divided into seven layers, representing the Buddha's passage in seventy-seventy-nine days. It is said that Sakyamuni traveled to Bodhigaye and spent six years in the nearby forest, which made him describe as dry and exhausted, but still did not realize the way to release. So he gave up the hard work, went to the Nilian Zen River to bathe, washed away all the dirt, then climbed the branches to shore, drank the milk congee dedicated by the shepherd, and came to Bodhi Gaye, sitting under a big Bodhi tree, and swore that if he could not fully understand, he would not be able to afford it for life. He had been thinking about it for seventy-seventy-nine days, and on the morning of the last day he suddenly looked up and saw a very bright star in the east. In this instant, Sakyamuni suddenly understood the avenue of life in the universe, understood the true meaning of life, and at the same time freed from the suffering of life, old illness and death.
