Among all the temples in Bagan, this is the one I love the most. The building's blocks are thick, making it a fascinating place to visit. Historically, the king during that time wasn't viewed favorably. He is said to have killed his father and elder brother to ascend the throne.

One of the big temples of Bagan - must see. Big walls surround the temple, and gates from four sides. The temple itself is massive - and very well laid out in terms of concentric structures. On a sunny day you can have a nice view of the surrounding area - there are a couple of vantage points near the rear of the temple area for good photos.

This is the largest temple in Bagan and dominates the landscape with its imposing size. It was built in the late 12th century and remains incomplete. Even so, it is still an impressive spectacle to behold. Much of the interior is bricked up. It used to a popular sunrise and sunset fir tourists.

Amazing what royals will build when they’re advised by spiritual leaders? That’s pretty much the background of this huge complex. It’s really massive and reminds you Of a scene from tomb raider as you explore. Great views of the temple from raised mounds in the corners of the compound

The biggest temple in Bagan with interesting story. King Narathu built the temple for his sin of killing his father and brother. It is a picturesque place in Bagan and there is a puppet shop with many puppets hanging on the tree. It's also a good place to take pictures.

My stay in Bagan included visits to a large number of temples, many of which are more than 800 years old. One such temple is Dhammayan Gyi. It dates back to the second half of the twelfth century. Situated in a field with unobstructed views, it is one of the larger and more impressive temples in the city. A walk around the outer walls of the temple netted me a number of impressive perspectives. The sheer size of the structure and the intricate brickwork set this temple apart. This is not a building that you will rush through. It requires and deserves your full attention. It got mine.

The biggest temple in Bagan. The bricks pattern of this temple are interested and it show how ancient Bagan people built the temple at this time (900 years ago).
