Wat Chayamangkalaram (Lorong Burmah)

The largest buddhist temple in Penang, the Wat Cauta's architecture is unique with Thai, Burmese and Chinese influences. Within the main temple is the reputed third-longest reclining Buddha in the world, measuring 33 meters draped in a gold-leaved saffron robe.

The Buddha rests its head, pointing northwards, on his right palm. This position signifies the enlightment or Nirvana.
