Alopyi-gu-hpaya, Buddhist temple in Bagan, Myanmar.

The temple features a square sanctuary with a central mass of bricks, housing Buddha images in niches on each side of the structure.

Construction of Alopyi-gu-hpaya began between 1115 and 1130 during the Pagan Kingdom, marking a period of Buddhist architectural development in Myanmar.

The interior walls contain frescoes depicting 650 seated Buddhas in lotus position, teaching various sutras and celebrating donations to the monastic community.

Located near Hti-lo-min-lo temple, southwest of Wetkyi-in village, the temple stands along the road connecting Old Bagan to Nyaung-U village.

The temple's eastern-oriented design includes a stupa-shaped roof with four miniature stupas at the corners and a pavilion at its base.
