Sulamani Temple, Buddhist temple in Minnanthu, Myanmar.
The Sulamani Temple features a square layout with three receding terraces on the first floor and four terraces on the upper level, crowned by a central stupa.
King Narapatisithu constructed the Sulamani Temple in 1183 after discovering a small ruby at this location, which inspired the temple's name meaning 'small ruby'.
The temple walls display detailed terracotta plaques depicting Jataka tales and murals illustrating scenes from Buddha's life alongside mythological creatures like Naga snakes.
Visitors reach the temple through the eastern entrance porch, which extends further than the other three sides and leads to corridors containing numerous Buddha statues.
The Zamani Project conducted spatial documentation of the temple in 2017, creating detailed 3D models and architectural plans following damage from the 2016 earthquake.
