Shwegugyi Temple, Buddhist temple in Bagan, Myanmar.

The temple features numerous arched windows that illuminate the interior spaces, with ornate wooden doors and detailed stucco decorations throughout the structure.

The construction of Shwegugyi Temple began on May 17, 1331, and concluded on December 17, 1331, as documented by stone inscriptions at the site.

The temple contains multiple Buddha statues and ancient murals that demonstrate the artistic techniques and religious practices of early Myanmar civilization.

The temple stands on a brick foundation rising 3 meters high and remains accessible to visitors who can reach it by bicycle or horse-drawn carriage.

Stone inscriptions reveal that the temple was completed in exactly seven months, making it one of the fastest-built major temples in Bagan.
