Dhammayangyi

This is the biggest temple of the kind built by King Narathu. The donor killed his own father and brother for the throne and was notorious for his cruelty to his subjects. His workforce left his work unfinished when the King was assassinated by Indians.The massive structure of the temple contains intriguing puzzles like a labyrinth or a maze. There are two corridors running parallel but only the outer corridor provides access. The inner corridor is a dead end and has no entry.
