Chaukhtatgyi Buddha Temple (my|ခြောက်ထပ်ကြီးဘုရားကြီး) is the most well-known Buddhist temple in Bahan Township, Yangon, Yangon Region, Myanmar. It houses one of the most revered reclining Buddha images in the country.[1] The Buddha image is long, and one of the largest in Burma.[1]
The construction was sponsored by a wealthy Burmese Buddhist, Sir Po Tha, in 1899.[1] The image was completed in 1907 by another construction company, but was not proportioned correctly, and the Buddha's face had an aggressive expression.[1]
In the 1950s, the old Buddha image was demolished and temple trustees began work to replace the image, under the supervision of U Thaung, a master craftsman from Tavoy (now Dawei).[1] Large glass eyes with dimensions of 1.77x were custom-created at Naga Glass Factory. The Buddha image was consecrated in 1973.[1]
