Shwe Yaunghwe Kyaung Monastery seen from stupa door, Nyaungshwe, Inle Lake, Myanmar

---

Next to the Shwe Yaunghwe Kyaung Monastery at Nyaungshwe, near Lake Inle, there is a stupa that contains hundreds of wall niches, each occupied by a small statue of a Buddha, each only 3 or 4 inches high. The niches are surrounded by leaded glass insets and figures attached to the walls. The monastery can be seen here, framed by the stupa door.
