Mingalazedi Pagoda, Buddhist pagoda in Bagan, Myanmar.
The Mingalazedi Pagoda rises 40 meters high with three rectangular terraces and a central bell-shaped stupa adorned with horizontal concentric rings.
The construction of the pagoda in 1274 under King Narathihapate marked the final major temple built before the Mongol invasion of the First Burmese Empire.
The terraces display glazed terracotta plaques illustrating Jataka tales, which narrate the previous lives of Buddha through detailed artistic representations.
Visitors can find the pagoda half a kilometer south of the old Bagan city wall, with current restrictions on accessing the upper terrace platform.
The brick library building within the temple complex contains some of the oldest lacquerware items from the 13th century discovered in Bagan.
