Nanpaya

Nanpaya is located in Mynkaba. Together with the temples of Nagayon, Manuha, Abeyadana, and Gubgyakgyi share a fascinating history, although each temple has its own personality. While Nagayon, Abeyadana, and Gubyakgyi are famous because of their murals and frescoes restored by UNESCO, and Manuha is famous because of the confined and impressive Buddhas, Nanpaya is unique because of the stone work and sculptures. It has 4 pillars with Indian motifs. One of them depicts Brahma holding lotus flowers. Very delicate. Nanpaya was perhaps the house, some believe the prison, of King Manuha while imprisoned in Mynkaba by King Kyanzitta. It has hamsa birds that were royal mon representations. Like the other temples at the Mynkaba area, it is important to take a flashlight to appreciate the details. #travel#thingstodo
