 | Penang Burmese Temple (Dhammikarama) Reviews | 1 - 10 of 41 |  |
I've never been to Burma, so I've never seen a Burmese temple. I'm not sure if this is what they are really like there, or is a Penangish version of what. In any event, it was really color, and I hope I'm not insultinig any Burmese Buddists who may be reading this, but it was sort of a fun place to visti.

When you are visiitng the Reclining Buddha, just walk across the road to drop by the interesting Burmese Temple.
You will noticed that facial expression of Burmese Buddhas are different, more serene in a sense. There is a giant standing Buddha in a beautifully carved wooden hall and with different Buddhas from different countries of Asia.
At the side of the main temple, is a temple roof which looks like a floating piece of cake. At the back, is a coin thowing whether you want "Success", "Happy Marriage", "Love" into a rotating bowls over a pond. Stand at nearest part of the pond but it is an easy miss.
Highly recommend to drop by if you are visiting the Reclining Buddha. Admission is free too but there is a solication of voluntary donation for building funds. Directions: Between Georgetown and Batu Ferringhi area approx 10 mins from Georgetown

The Burmese Buddhist Temple is just across the road from the Reclining Buddha Temple... It is a much more interesting temple than the one across the road...there is so much to see inside and out. Leave a Comment Directions: Between Georgetown and Batu Ferringhi area approx 10 mins from Georgetown

The Dhammikarama Burmese Temple at Burmah Lane, was the first Buddhist temple to be built in Penang in 1803,.
This temple is a lovely site and well worth the trip to see it. Leave a Comment Directions: Between Georgetown and Batu Ferringhi area approx 10 mins from Georgetown

Burmese Temple is has different sections where you could experience very impressive time. apart from those pair of elephants guarding the entrance to this Burmese temple there is a pagoda, a Boddhi tree and a wishing pond. It is the scene of many festivities during the water festival in April. Leave a Comment Directions: Between Georgetown and Batu Ferringhi area approx 10 mins from Georgetown

The temple has a Main Shrine Hall, Sima Hall, Dinning Hall, Monks Quarters, Preceptors Lodge, Sunday school, Library and a Lecture Hall.

The temple is located at Burma Lane off Burmah Road...once you find the road you will never miss it coz its Golden Roof will greet you from afar ...the existence of this temple show sthe presence of Burmese community and influence since time immemorial ...if you want to know ethnicity that has made Penang such a beautiful cultural melting pot ..take a visit to the State Muzeum

There is a statue of this weird looking animal in the Burmese Temple. It is the combination of five best animals. It has trunk and tusks like elephant, four hoofed legs like horse, face like lion, horn like deer and tail like fish.
