Visitors can pay homage to the four Buddha images and view the paintings about the Buddha interior wall of the Al­odawpyae Pagoda of Bagan, NyaungU Township, Manda­lay Region, according to the officials of the Department of Archeology and National Mu­seum (Bagan Branch).

Alodawpyae Pagoda is located north of Anawrahta Road, the main road from NyaungU to Bagan.

The pagoda is a temple with its arch facing east, and visitors can enter from the east arch of the pagoda and see a sitting statue of the Buddha.

Inside the temple, there are mural paintings with in­scriptions written in the an­cient Mon language, and ar­chaeologists believe that the architecture of the building can be related to late King Kyansittha era and the begin­ning of the reign of the King of Alaungsithu. Inside the temple, a Myanmar ink inscription dat­ing back to 556 Myanmar Era can also be found on the wall.

On the interior of the tem­ple, there are 28 Buddha imag­es with various mudras and postures, as well as ancient Mon inscriptions.

Hteelominlo Pagoda and Shweleiktu Pagoda are located north of the Alodawpyae Pago­da while to the east is Shin Boh Mei brick monastery, Wuttana­taw Cluster of Pagodas, to the south is Bueleithi Pagoda and to the west is Lawkahmankin Pagoda. — Depalin/KZL
