Htilominlo Temple

The Htilominlo Temple stands 46 meters tall with three levels, featuring brick construction covered in white stucco and multiple entrance porches on each side.

Built in 1218 under King Htilominlo's reign, the temple marks the location where a ceremonial umbrella designated him as the future ruler among five royal brothers.

The temple walls display intricate terracotta plaques illustrating Jataka tales, while four large gilded Buddha statues occupy dedicated spaces on each floor level.

Visitors must purchase a Bagan Archaeological Zone permit for 25,000 Kyats, valid for three days, and remove shoes before entering the sacred structure.

The eastern entrance extends beyond the other three sides, creating an asymmetrical layout that differs from traditional temple designs of the period.
