Do you know about a very famous temple called Ananda Temple? i ever write about it before. It's one of the most famous temples, even the most crowd compared to the others. But... this time i will tell you how i ended up at a temple that have a special connection to Ananda Temple.
Abe-Ya-Dana Hpaya is the name of the temple behind me. This is the first temple built by a king (formerly a general in the Pagan kingdom) named King Kyansittha.
This temple was built by this king and has many events surrounding it. That afternoon, i go to the temple because this temple was on my route, so i am very curious about Hpaya and its history.
However, i able to enter the temple but unfortunately, I cannot take photos inside. Did you know that there are many interesting things inside the temple? including one of the temples with many statues, wall carvings, and decorative motifs of Theravada Buddhism in Bagan.. Therefore, some of the temple's items were taken to the Bagan Museum, while others remained. One of these is the decorative motifs on the walls.
There was a good reason not to take photos, and we were even closely guarded by a temple guard, to ensure the temple remains intact. Camera flashes could potentially destroy or damage King Kyansittha's relics.
It's not one of the most crowded and talked-about temples, but... I understand a little more why this temple has been considered a must-visit when in Bagan, Myanmar.
