Guest guest Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 This is another Myanmar Vedic Site. Obviously some uninformed Individual developed this site. V Ngakywenadaung Paya Nga-kywe-na-daung is a medium size early Pyu type brick masonry stupa. Its date of construction remains uncertain. On the external walls and each face had been carved in brick the ten misadventures of Vishnu. These statues were placed upright in niches decorated with the pilasters. The murals are contemporary sculptures. The center of the temple is occupied by an enormous brick mass surrounded classically bricks. It is this mass which supports the dome and will sikhara it. The name even of the temple is curious, it means: "the temple where the spirits are confined" and perhaps announces a relation with the nats, which had taken refuge here, not being able to do it in a traditional Buddhist temple. http://myanmartravelinformation.com/mti-bagan/pahtothamya.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
