Eim Ya Kyaung ( Pre Earthquake 2016) - Bagan

3D Model

Located on the eastern banks of the Ayeyarwady River in Central Myanmar, Bagan was the Capital city of the first Myanma Kingdom which ruled from the 9th to the 13th Centuries. From 1044 to 1287 the Bagan rulers oversaw the construction of over 10,000 religious monuments over an area covering over 100 square kilometers on the Bagan plains. Approximately 2500 of these structures survived until the present and can be found in the Bagan Archaeological Area. The Eim ya-kyaung temple is located East of Old Pagan, 300 meters west from the much larger Hitlominlo Temple. Of the thousands of monuments in Pagan, Eim ya kyaung nga-myet hna is one of only sixteen that have been identified with a pentagonal plan. The temple and associated monastery (Monument 1832) are located within a walled enclosure.
