Dhammayangyi Temple, Buddhist temple in Bagan, Myanmar.

The Dhammayangyi Temple features dense brick construction, a massive pyramidal structure, and four entrance gates leading to a central chamber and corridors.

King Narathu initiated the construction of this temple in 1167 CE as part of his efforts to establish religious monuments in Bagan.

The temple contains four Buddha statues at its entrances and preserves original images of Gautama Buddha and Maitreya Buddha in its inner sanctum.

The temple stands near the center of Bagan's archaeological zone, with access through walking paths and local transportation from nearby hotels.

The temple exhibits exceptional masonry techniques, with bricks fitted together without mortar so tightly that not even a needle can pass between them.
