Bagan
Bagan, the capital of Myanmar’s first dynasty, was built by King
Anawrahta in 1044. There are over 2,000 temples and stupas spreading
in 42 Square kilometers of a desert like plain on the eastern bank
of the Ayeyarwady river. All these red brick and stucco religious
monument were built during 11th to 13th century. The magnificent
temple architecture, incredibly fine mural paintings, brilliant
stucco carving, and the most elegant Buddha Images, all are telling
the sublime motif of ancient Bagan people.
Riding horse cart through sesame fields and hundreds years old
temples under the dim sunset light or sitting quietly on a temple
platform, looking at the country side, and watching sunset over the
nearby temples and distant hills, can drive one’s soul to the
timeless dream world.
