The huge structure, legends say, has creepy history.. Loved the visit at dusk, though..
made me small. must go place
Dhammayan Gyi Temple, build during the 12th century, believed to be the largest temple in Bagan. Inside the temple can see very little wall paintings remains. some I find its like not the old paintings. But it's really big and like a maze.. one can get lost inside. On the four side inside you will see Buddha statues. Behind the statues you find Avery big pillar with walkways around it. Then there is another walkways in front of the Buddha's.. and yet another one .. thus making this temple very big and like a maze you can lost your directions walking inside this temple. This temple is worth going. You can visit this temple and Sulamani temple together.
Dhammayangyi can be seen from various directions, and it is significantly structured and laid with fine bricks. Its design resembles the Ananda pagoda, that is, a square shape, with porches casting out on all four directions.
One of many beautiful temples in Bagan. Midday, the ground can get hot so make sure to bring socks for when you have to take off your shoes.
Tomb Raider style – Largest temple in Bagan, or so I've heard. It was truly very big and well worth exploring. I did not manage to find any secret passages that some people mentioned of though, but I didn't try that hard.
Must visit before sunrise. It's much more beautiful than Ancor Wat in Cambodia!
Eighty percent of people are Buddhist in Myanmar.
Built by King Narathu (1167 - 1170) Dhammayan Gyi temple is probably the largest templesite of the 2200 pagodas that still can be found in the Bagan area. Narathu who assasinated bis father and elder brother tried to atone for these sins by building Dhammayan Gyi. Vendors here trying to sell souvenirs can be a bit intrusive.
Full of people trying to sell things. They are very persistent and follow you everywhere.

The big one pagoda in bagan. There are many room and many section in side.
Stunning, impressive views. This temple is particularly important for tourists and locals so enjoy while respecting their traditions and your fellow travelers.
The largest but tragic temple, I felt like walking in ancient European castle, not Eastern temple.
Amazing!
This is the biggest temple in Bagan, also the great architecture. Daylight comes through the windows of the temple not to be dark inside of it. What an awesome ancient structure! This place is a MUST visit one when you are in Bagan.
Impressive temple with high ceiling, grand hallway and mysterious past. A must visit in Bagan.
