Kyay Thun Phaya,
a Buddhist temple on
the outskirts of
Bago,
i.e.
Pegu,
located on the main road to Yangon, opposite of Bago
University. |
The walls
of the main hall are perforated with sizeable circular
holes, that on a sunny day let in beams of light which
form a kaleidoscope-like pattern
of light dots on the temple's floor, thus creating an ideal
atmosphere for
meditation. |

To the right of this building stands a simple roofed
structure with a large
bronze bell, reminiscent of the early 19th century
Mingun Bell (fig.),
which was
specially cast to be placed in the
Mingun Pahtodawgyi
Pagoda. |
