One thousand pagodas stand in Old Bagan. Can you imagine how unique that is? The city isn't large, like most cities. It's divided into two, Old Bagan and Bagan (the more modern city). It's made up of numerous pagodas, and I didn't even see any houses here, just pagodas and hotels around the outskirts.
In Old Bagan, there's one pagoda called Pyathagyi Temple. It certainly has its own unique characteristics. Each temple has its own unique characteristics, not alike, even though the pagoda is brick red. Here, we can see temples with interesting architectural designs, such as two caves at the entrance and a standing Buddha statue.
The area is vast, but the temple receives very few visitors. This is what everyday life is like in Old Bagan, due to the difficulty of accessing tourists to enjoy the historical heritage dating back to the early AD. Can you imagine how sad it is, a place so rich in culture, but with nothing being utilized? In fact, this country should be rich thanks to the foreign exchange earnings from tourists and the livelihoods of the people who live there.
Back to the design of this temple, it's built on stacks of red bricks. The dome's interesting technique makes this temple elegant and one of the finest. We can see how the design is more modern; it turns out this temple was one of the last built during the reign of King Kyaswa.
There is an Indian cultural influence in the design of this pagoda, with a very large hall used for prayer and other religious activities. This pagoda is truly fascinating, although not as well-known as other, more massive temples. However, I believe this is an underrated masterpiece in Old Bagan.
Although not many tourists come here, it seems like this temple is frequently visited by many people for worship. Temples in Old Bagan also provide a source of income, with some selling souvenirs and paintings. Although I know many Myanmar people are also likely on vacation or taking the time to pray.
Call me Isdarmady, sometimes Mady, Putra or anything you want. I have a pretty long name but call me very nicely. There are many things I like, especially hydroponics and coffee, sometimes I also like traveling and eating whatever I want. Life should be like that, there must be many things you like so you can live well. Of course, what you want is a dream, so, when you have a dream then what you have to do is to achieve that dream, don't just let it be a dream.
