Shwegugale Paya

TIME : 2016/2/17 15:28:18

A little beyond the Mahazedi Paya, this zedi has a dark gu (tunnel) around the circumference of the cylindrical superstructure. The monument dates to 1494 and the reign of King Byinnya Yan. Inside are 64 seated buddha figures. In the evening many locals venture out here.

From the zedi , cross a rickety wooden footbridge and you’ll arrive at a nat shrine with life-sized statues of Ko Thein and Ko Thant, the nat of the temple compound.
