The Alo-daw Pyi Pagoda, also known as the Alodawpyi Pagoda or Alodawpyay Pagoda, is a Buddhist temple in Bagan, Mandalay Region, Myanmar. Built in the early 12th century, the temple is notable for its old structure and a number of fresco paintings. [1] The temple has been the subject of restorative efforts—funded by donations given by General Khin Nyunt [2] [3] —since 1994, and is a popular pilgrimage site. [1] The temple's name translates to "Wish-fulfilling". [1] [2]
