Gu Byauk Gyi Temple

This early 13th century temple, near Wetkyi-in village, displays strong Indian influence. Its spire is not the usual cicada shape but straight-sided and tapered like that of the Maha Bodhi Pagoda in Bagan village.

The Gubyaukgyi Temple was restored in 1468. Inside are the remains of tempera wall paintings, including a charming one of Gautama Buddha during his incarnation as a hermit walking with his mother, as well as a frieze of the 28 Buddhas ( 24 are from previous cosmic worlds, while the last four are from the present world cycle, Gautama being the 28th Buddha). Each one sits under a different tree, for each enlightenment took place under a different species.

Gubyaukgyi Temple in Myinkaba was built by King Nadaungmyar during A.D 1198. There is a stone inscription about the donation of the temple, the land and the slaves.Some of the interior floral designs based on flower, lives of animals can still be seen inside the temple. Most of the wall paintings remain unruined. The paintings also include the lives of Buddha. Its design and size resemble those of Myinkaba Gu Byauk Kyi. The temple is noted for fine stucco works. It is one of those Bagan temples adorned with accomplished stucco art works. In the temple are large Buddha statues of brick and plaster but the hands are of stone.

A nice little temple that does not allow photography inside. Inside there are some of the best preserved paintings in all of Bagan. It is dark and can be tight if larger groups are inside, but it is well worth a visit.

Crowded outside. Not my favourite in Bagan but still one worth stopping off at.
