Maha Wizaya Zedi (ambulatory)
Maha Wizaya Zedi (fig.) has an ambulatory-like aisle that surrounds the temple's inner sanctum (fig.).
Its walls and ceilings are decorated with colourful murals showing key scenes from Buddhism, especially in the tunnel-shaped entrances.
On one side of this corridor, along the outer walls of the inner sanctum, are niches with large-scale bonze Buddha statues.
Those are displayed in an alternating fashion with wooden panels of bas-relief carvings that depict characters and scenes from Buddhism.
On the opposite side, along the outer walls of the hallway, are big showroom-like chambers with large windows on the front and sides.
Besides various Buddha images, they also have murals of Buddhist landmarks and famous temples from all over Myanmar.
