Some 2,300 towers and temples also give valid testimony to Pagan's Golden Ella. When the city became known as "city of 4 million cities", under King Kyanzittha. Kiganjitta was the greatest king of infidels in my opinion. During his reign of 28 years from AD in 1084 to AD in 1112, numerous religious monuments were built.
Golden Era & # 39; Started with the commitment to the doctrine of the Terraveda Buddhism of the United Arab Emirates as a result of the teaching of Month Makishin Allahan.
Below we briefly explain the list of 20 monuments. These are definitely the most interesting witnesses of Bagan's greatness era.
Shwezigon Pagoda
This tower in Nyaung Oo and Pagan's largest relic is said to contain teeth of Buddha. It is one of the payouts of 4 relics of Bagan.
Shwezigon pagoda covered with a huge dome began to be built by King Anarahta in 1076 years or earlier. In 1077, he was killed when the third terrace of the tower where the bell stood was completed. This leaves Shwezigon unfinished, and in 1089 Anawrahta's son King Kyanzittha completed the tower. Shwezigon served as a prototype of the tower to be built later.
The Shwezigon Pagoda Festival will be held from November 23rd to 30th every year.
2. Temple of Ananda
Ananda's temple is the most impressive temple of Bagan, a masterpiece of Mon architecture completed in 1091 AD
In order to avoid duplication of pagoda, it was built by King King Zitta who personally worked as an architect after completion. The enforcement of the tower architect after the tower they planned was completed was very common in these times.
In Ananda's temple there are a total of 80 relief statements with huge Cheek Buddha statues (Gautama, Kakusanda, Konagamana, Cassapa) that depict the life from the birth of Gautama Buddha to enlightenment.
Ananda Temple Festival / Fair to be held annually is an event not to be missed. The zenith of the festival is the morning line in the courtyard of the temple on the full moon day of January.
For more information on Ananda Temple, please read my Ezine article "Ananda Temple and Its History".
3. Temple of Binyu
This temple is a snowy white stucco building called "Temple of the whole world". The height of 61 meters high is the tallest building in infidels / Bagan. It was built by the King Alaungsithu in the mid-12th century and is in a form similar to the shape and Ananda Temple.
On the floor of the temple at the top of Thatbyinnyu there is an eastward Buddha statue.
4. Gauda Waspine Temple
The Godawaparin Temple was one of Bagan 's most impressive two - story obstacles, suffered greatly from the 1975 earthquake and damaged many Bagan towers and temples.
This temple was built by the King of Narapatisis in the 12th century and is similar to the temples of Ananda and Tabiny. The temple provides a wonderful view above the eastern pagan plains and the Ayeyawaddy river and the west Yoma mountains.
5. Dammaayani Temple
This is a construction unfinished temple in three years is the largest and largest shrine in Bagan, the Bagan Memorial Inventory number 771
It displays all the other towers of the heathen and the most brilliant bricks of the temple. King Narrat was one of the pagan's worst kings. He took Dhammayangyi Temple to compensate for killing his father's king Alaungsithu, his older brother Minshinsaw (the throne who just poured oil), the former Indian princess Kyaban, one of his wives given him Father who began to build, Otaratu, one of his sons and a sister of his uncle Mahabo.
His short enrollment period from 1167 to AD in 1170 ended when he was assassinated.
6. Gubiyauchiki Temple
Gu Byauk Gyi is another temple built by King Kyanzittha and its architectural design shows clear signs of Indian influence, as it is in some of the other Bagan temples. This temple is completed around 1113 and is 1.323 in the list of monuments and inventories of Bagan.
As the first part of the name 'Gu & # 39; Gu & # 39; means Gubyaukgyi is a cave cave meaning Gu Cave.
This Gubyaukgyi is in Wetkyi-in village. Bagan's second Gubyaukgyi is located in Myinkaba and it is important to know this because the appearance and interior are quite different despite the fact that Indian style temples are built with different architectural styles . In other words, Wetkyi-in Gubyaukgyi shows India's stronger features. This is especially true for cases like bees like honey bees like Minkaba and Gubyaku instead of bells. Therefore it is important to always add Wetkyi-in or Myinkaba where you are located, as it is very confusing in other respects.
The temple is a relatively small one-story red brick masonry stone building. The main entrance is the only entrance and the east side is as usual. The road from the gate on the wall surrounding the temple is directly connected with the pouch where the golden Buddha statue facing the main entrance was placed and the front room.
The entrance of the other three sides is a wrong entrance closed with a large stone stone window allowing the interior to be well illuminated with sunlight.
Although it is rather rather a strange building that attracts attention, there are beautiful and beautiful atticts outside but it is a beautiful, beautifully decorated muralsque and fresco painting of Gubyakugi. In this department, there are many things in the temple, then it is famous. Mural painting Jatakas is necessary to visit Wetkyi-in Gubyaukgyi. The Bagan's 2300 towers and temples that can provide such a beautiful large and well preserved mural are only a few.
There are very beautiful murals in the temple. For example, 28 Buddha, starting from the first one, Tanhankara Buddha, present one, Gautama Buddha are beautifully painted in mural paintings. These can be seen on the walls of the north and south part of the temple.
The picture is very old and in order to keep the best possible condition, Temple keeper can not take pictures as the flashlight is afraid that it will hurt the murals.
7. Schwa Sandal Tower
Shwesandaw Pagoda - its white color contrasts mostly with red brick towers and temples - was built by King Anawrahta in 1057, after victory from Thaton. Shwesandaw is also called Gaunesh or Mahapeinne Temple. The stupa is sent to Anarahara by the king of Pure, some hair of the Buddha of Goretama.
Pagoda's architecture shows a strong influence of Mon. Buddhist temple (Shinbinthalyaung Reclining Buddha) over 60 feet / 18 meters long is housed in a long, flat building within the boundary of the tower. Shwesandaw has Bagan Monument Inventory number 1.568.
8. New Buddha Temple
A long rectangular red brick building located a few yards north north of Shwesandaw Pagoda is not something of a kind that looks like a temple but it is as thoughtful. There is no building of 60 feet / 20 meters. And this is really funny and it is a must for when visiting Bagan.
Building Shwesandaw was built, giving home the image of Bagan's longest reclining Gautama Buddha. Buddha, 54 feet / 18 meters long, is located in a paranivana position with its right arm inclined diagonally, supporting his head with his cheek in the palm of his hand.
9. Sulamani Temple
This temple, built by King Narapatishito in 1183 AD, is considered one of the great two-story work of infidels, its plan is similar to Thatbyinnyu Temple. Bagan Monument Inventory no. I have. 748.
Sulamani is a Paragon of Blue Man architecture style named after the legendary palace of Indra God and fully developed. On the lower floor of the temple, there are all the Buddha statues of the four cardinal sides.
10. Htilominlo Temple
The Htilominlo Temple has a catalog number 1.812 of the Bagan monument and in 1211 King Nandan Meyer, one of the four sons of King Narapatisus, was built in the place he was chosen.
Four Buddha statues on the first floor and four Buddha statues on the first floor face the basic point. Old mural painting depicting the horoscope drawn on the wall for protection from damage can still be noticed.
11. Rocananda Pagoda
The stock number of Lawkananda Pagoda is 1023. It is located southwest of Thripyitsaya Village, not far from Bagan - Chauk Road on Ayeyawaddy River Bank. It is one of the four towers built by pagans by Anawrahta. This is to ensure the duplication of the holy teeth of the Buddha brought from Sri Lanka in 1059. Lawka Nanda Paya (or zedi) is an old Pali and, as told, "tower of great joy" means.
Another explanation I got is that the King of Angrauch worships the locals of Pui God, "the Lord of the world". The name is related to Lawkananda & # 39;
However, Lawkananda was built after Buddha 's relics arrived and sacred relics were kept in the royal palace of Anawrahta during the construction of the pagoda.
12. Nasrang Council
Nathlaung Kyaung, one of the oldest and most remaining Hentai temples of heathens, has a monument catalog number 1.600.
I do not know where this temple was built, but Nathlaung Kyaung was known as the King's Tyu Tai (Nyaung-U Sawrahan) in the early 930's. In the view that it was built by King Anawrahta after 120 years, it aimed at keeping all non-Buddhist religious statues as unreasonable. The idea of keeping all non-Buddhist religious figures in one temple is silly that in any case does not require further explanation.
If so, neither Nathung - U Sawrahan nor anawrahta king mentioned any of the insignia on Nathlaung Kyaung. This means that it was not built by Nyaung-U Sawrahan, but was built by other people during the reign.
13. Mahabody Temple
On the city wall in the center of the old Indonesia there is a temple almost imitating the original Mahabodhi Guphaya in Bodhgaya (Gaya district of Bihar) in northern India.
Temple of Mahabodi has inventory number 1670 of the monument of Bagan. It was built by the Order of King Nadanggumiya (Htilominlo) who was instructed from 1210 to 1234. Mahabody is a unique design of infidels completed around the year 1215
Mahabodhi Guphaya is a brick stucco structure built in the architectural style of Indian Gupta era, about 600 years since around the 2nd century BC
Temple is a very rich decoration of the conical main tower (tower) covered mainly with gold hti and a small corner spire on a two-story square block (features of Gupta era design) base . The total height of the temple is 141 feet / 43 meters. The design of the gypsum molding of the Mahabodhi Temple is a basic design like Grottoes arranged at equal intervals in each other, arranged in the horizontal line and the vertical line and combined with the floral design. grottos / niches are filled with statues of both myths, non-myths and nats of Buddha, devas, animals.
14. Tharaba Gate
Strangely, except for the creation of a city of pagan and the introduction of a calendar of the era of the new Burma (khachapanca era which begins in 638), one of the earliest and most important events of paganism is the king of Pyinbya It is known about the construction of walls of heathen cities by the city walls with that gate. It is essentially known about the walls of the city that it was built in several stages that started in 849. On the city wall there is a total length of 7.990 yards / 7.300 meters, on the city wall there are four main gates, along the Ayeyawaddy the northwest corner of the wall has broken, and the Tharabar Gate has some small part of the city wall And that means that it remains along the moat.
15. Damaya jiggapagoda
Dhammayazika (Paris & King's Law & # 39;) In Pagoda the fifth religious structure of King Nagapatisis is built in infidels and has a monument catalog number 947. Pagoda was completed in 1197, which is one of Bagan's 44 pentagon religious structures. It is located in Pwasaw village in eastern part of Bagan.
The main pagoda of Dhammayazika's circular, conical and gold color is a solid structure placed on three pentagonal backward terraces, and each corner has a miniature copy with gold leaf on the main tower. Furthermore, on the side of the terrace, Jataka with glaze depicting the scene of life of Gautama · Buddha is decorated.
16. Mingalase Die Pagoda
Completed in 1284 - 3 years before bagging of heathen by Mongolians - Mingara Game Pagoda Inventory Number 1.439 of Bagan Memorial is the last very large tower built with infidels.
Mingalazedi's architect was King Narathi Happetate who commanded Pagan from 1256 until AD 1287. The tower is a brick, almost pure copy of Shwezigon Pagoda, a road leading to Myinkaba village built near the wall of an old town not far in the direction of the south. The only main difference between the two towers is that Mingarazadee is not gold leafed and that it is the square brick pedestal on which Mingaraj dai is based.
The side of the pedestal is decorated with glaze plaques showing nut on the east side, naga on the west side, garuda on the north side and ogle on the south side. The side of the next three recessed terraces (paccayas) is decorated with glazed Jatakas depicting Gautama Buddha's life scene.
17. Bupaya
Bupaya Pagoda of the monument inventory number 1.657 was a legend that it was built by the king Pyusawhti who dominated between 167 AD - 242 AD
Today 's Bupaya was completely destroyed by the earthquake that hit Bagan in 1975, so it is not the original tower built by King Pyusawhti. Everything that the tower was broken into was a foundation. In contrast to the original Bupaya which was almost a solid brick structure, this is a hollow structure consisting of reinforced concrete.
The name Bupaya (Bu = gourd and Paya = pagoda = gourd pagoda) suggests that this name comes from the legend of the guardian god. This gourd was one of five legendary threats.Pagan was infringed by the reign of King Thamudarit and Pyusawhti released the little kingdom. Due to this heroic act, the legend went on. Pusoša salted his daughter as his wife and was rewarded by King Tamdarit who made the heir's clothes.
18. Abeyadana Temple
Built by King Kyanzittha and completed in about 1102, the Abeyadana temple is in Myinkaba, north of the royal palace of Kyanzittha. The temple was named after the name of Abu Yadana, the first wife of Kinji Jitta. He was still married while continuing his career as a soldier & # 39; abandoned jewelry & # 39;
The architecture and interior design of Abeyadana Temple are strongly influenced by Sinhala style and Mahayana Buddhism, and there is no doubt the origin of India which is the origin of Bengali language.
Abeyadana Guphaya is a one-story red brick and gypsum stone cave temple. The rectangular foundation company is the front garden of the square interior sanctuary where the entrance to the entrance and its pouch opens north and three corridors with open windows in the west, the east and the south are running .
The base is covered with three backward terraces crowned with Sinhala-style cicadas. Pictures of the inner wall are Mahayana Pantheon Theology (Bodhisattva Meitreya, Gautama Buddha, Bodhisattva, Avalokitesvara, God of Mercy, God of Wisdom, Majuscie ) Furthermore, the main building Mandara's wall carries the statues of Hindu gods and goddesses such as Brad, Indra, Shiva, Vishnu.
To express Theravada's Buddhism is Jatakas on the front yard wall. In the dimly sanctuary there is a big Buddha image made of brick and plaster. Buddha is sitting on the Lotus throne of Bhumisparsha mudra, accompanied by a disciple sitting on both sides of him.
19. Nampaya Temple / Nampaya Gufuya
The temple of Nanpaya or Nanpaya is a small small temple in the palace grounds or a small small but professionally drilled for excellent stone carvings (Temple) or # 39; Palace Temple & # 39; And it was a very beautiful temple, decorating stone windows etc.
Nanpaya of the Bagan Monuments Inventory List is 1.239. When Nampaya was completed, there are differences in opinion among schools in Bagan. Some people say other people say in the beginning of the 12th century in the late 11th century. However, I will not be ashamed of who the temple architect was. It was Grand Sun Moon's grandson, Oji Naga Thaman. He commemorated his grandfather and laid the grandfather. He died south of the Magus Temple in the former palace grounds in the royal village of the moon where his grandfather lived in his house.
20. Manuka Temple
The temple of Bagan Monuments Inventory No. 1.240 is one of the oldest temples in Bagan and after being asked to build it with permission of King Anurahta, it is known that the well-known monthly king Makuta It was built in 1059 by a temple.
King King Manuha had lost the war with King Anawrahta was taken along with his family from Thaton to Pagan and given land located 1 mile / 1.6 km south of the wall of Pagan city in Myinkaba village It was. Where he could live freely with his family and carers and did not appreciate it as a prisoner. He was just tied to this land where he stayed and built a temple.
I know that there is a story about building a temple about 10 years after becoming a prisoner of King Anawrahta, but there is no reliable evidence that it can not be found in historical evidence for this. Also, the temples' marker stones clearly state that Manuha Gufua was built in 1059 AD
Although the temple is very spacious, the interior space is very spacious, but there are four very large bricks leaving a small room for worshipers who visit relatively often every day to worship the Buddha Buddha statue of plaster is almost completely occupied; s. It is rare that this temple was born, but the temple is not the one built first, it is a statue of Buddha. After they were built, the temple was made in a way of speaking. & Amp; # 39; There are unoccluded places left around them to express the builder 's discomfort that they must live under the breed.
