Dharmikalaram Burmese Temple


Just across the street from Wat Chaiya Mangkalaram is another spectular temple called Dharmikara Burmese Buddhist Temple. Built in 1805, it is considered to be the earliest and the only Burmese temple in Malaysia. Visitors should not miss the Sasana Vamsa Sima Shrine Hall where one can find the International Standing Buddha's statues. Walk the hallways to enlighten yourselves with the pictures depicting the story of Buddha. Proceed to the prayer hall where you can make your wish for happiness or even a higher education by throwing coins into small silver pots.
