Tharabha Gate, Ancient city gate in Bagan, Myanmar
The Tharabha Gate stands as a brick entrance with two shrines on each side, marking the eastern boundary of the former city walls.
Built around 1020 CE, this gate remains the only survivor among twelve original entrances that protected the ancient city of Bagan.
Two brick-walled shrines at the gate house guardian spirits known as nats, named Min Mahagiri and Hnamadawgyi, following Burmese spiritual traditions.
The gate entrance provides access to the archaeological zone of Old Bagan, with documentation centers and information points located within walking distance.
The Zamani Project from the University of Cape Town created detailed 3D documentation of the gate after the 2016 earthquake for conservation purposes.
