Nanpaya Temple, Hindu temple in Myinkaba, Myanmar.
The temple features a square base with sandstone walls, intricate carvings of deities, and decorated pillars supporting the central vault ceiling.
Built during the second half of the 11th century, this temple served as the residence of King Makuta from the Thaton Kingdom after his defeat.
Four stone pillars inside the temple display detailed images of Brahma, reflecting the religious influence of Hinduism during the medieval period in Myanmar.
Located south of Bagan, the temple remains open to visitors who can examine the Mon-style perforated stone windows and ancient architectural details.
The temple construction combines brick foundations with sandstone cladding, creating a structural design different from other religious buildings in Bagan.
