Gubyaukgyi Temple, Buddhist temple in Bagan, Myanmar
The temple features 11 large perforated stone windows in Pyu tradition design, allowing filtered natural light to illuminate the interior spaces.
Prince Yazakumar constructed the temple in 1113 AD as a tribute to his father, King Kyansittha, using funds from selling land received as compensation.
The interior walls display extensive frescoes with ink captions in Old Mon language, depicting Jataka tales and scenes from Buddhist traditions.
The temple maintains specific visiting hours, requires appropriate modest dress code, and prohibits flash photography to protect the ancient murals.
The temple incorporates both Mon and Indian architectural elements, notably visible in its towers built in the Indian Shikhara style and square base.
