Nampaya Temple (Nan Hpaya Temple) is located in the village of Myankaba in Bagan (Myinkaba Village), built by Mon king Manuha who leads directly to the kingdom, is a Hindu temple adjacent to Manuha Temple (Manuha Temple), which literally means "Royal Temple". The Nampaya temple, built with mud mortar, stone and brick, was once the residence of Manuha, and contains exquisite carvings of Brahma and other Hindu gods. Hamsa (like the swan bird) is a unique image and symbol of the Mon nationality, which is equivalent to the Chinese "dragon". It is said that after the temple was built, no one repaired it, because it is an Indian temple, and the Burmese are overwhelmingly Buddhist. The sculptures in the temple are exquisite and have been well maintained for many years. In addition, there are other brick Buddhist temples, which are also rare stone buildings in Bagan.

    Opposite the large Shwensandaw tower is a hall with huge reclining Buddha statues. Before that, many souvenir dealers lurked eager tourists. The reclining Buddha symbolized the way into the nirv and overcame lower emotions such as greed, greed, jealousy. That suits our travelers perfectly, isn’t it? After all, we’ve just flown halfway around the world and finally attached Bagan to our belts as another trophy. Are you upset about such contradictions? Oh, where is it from! Let's be frustrated by the "deficiencies" in the services we get at ridiculous prices.

    Nanpaye Temple is not very spectacular on the outside, but there are very interesting relief murals inside. The top of this pagoda is sometimes open to boarding. This relief mural alone is worth visiting, and it is not like China's refusal to take pictures.

    This small temple, located near Manuha Temple, its pierced stone windows, is a typical early building of Bagan Temple. The highlight is the four stone pillars of the middle temple, which are carved with the Hindu god of creation Brahma! :)

    #Thousands of pagodas barefooted tour 2019 Myanmar tour #No.34 Bagan Nanfota (Nanpaye Temple) Nanpaye Temple, or also known as the South Buddha Tower, is just south of Manu Harvard Tower, and can be reached through a dirty path. To be honest, when traveling on the small road, I thought it was a shortcut for the driver to save time, and the main road should not be so messy. I didn't expect this to be the only passage! The people of Myanmar are also thick enough, not because it is already a tourist attraction, not to do what "wind / appearance / change / build". It was said to have been a prison, and the legendary South Buddha was a Hindu Buddha, and authorities may think it is more appropriate to transform it into a prison than a Buddhist temple. But Nanpaye is a stunned pagoda. Although not gorgeous, its interior is breathtaking. Once inside the pagoda, the light pouring from the top will be shocked, thousands of years ago people have learned to use natural light to bring sufficient light to the dark interior. This design reminds me of the Pantheon in Rome. Although Bagan's Buddhist temple has not reached that height, it has been quite scientifically designed. Another example is that there are holes in the stone windows, which are ventilated and light-transmitted. It is said that this may be the earliest cave-style temple in Bagan. In the limited space of Nanpaye Temple, the four stone pillars in the center of the room are carved with exquisite statues of the god of creation, the floating statue of Brahma. Brahma is full of shapes, holding lotus flowers, smiling and lifelike. The sculptures here are similar to the style seen in Angkor, Cambodia, and I wonder if they are a product of a similar era? I think even if it was a prison, the prisoners in it, surrounded by such exquisite artwork, would not be so boring.

    The location is on the main road of the old Bagan Museum, out of the city gate after passing through Miaozexuan and Mingkabagu tableji Temple, passing through Manuha, and then arriving at Nanyuya. It is also a big temple, there is this temple on the hotel's simplified map, Nanxuya goes south, the left hand is NAGAYON, and then to the south is the new Bagan.

    The interior of the flying relief is just like Angkor, very strange. There are few other temples in Bagan that have a similar Khmer style. If you have time, you must visit this mysterious temple.
