Dhammayazika Pagoda, Buddhist temple in Pwasaw, Bagan, Myanmar.
The Dhammayazika Pagoda features three terraces made of brick with a central stupa and smaller domes surrounding the main structure at each corner.
King Narapatisithu commissioned the construction of this religious monument in 1196, during a period of architectural advancement in the Bagan Kingdom.
The terra cotta tiles decorating the pagoda walls display detailed illustrations of Jataka tales, narrating stories from Buddha's previous lives.
Visitors need to remove their shoes before entering the temple grounds and should bring water, as temperatures in Bagan frequently exceed 35 degrees Celsius.
The pagoda's circular design distinguishes it from most temples in Bagan, which typically follow rectangular or square layouts.
