MYIN KA BA PAGODA

It is said that King Anawratha, again, erected it with the intention of redeeming himself from the assassination, in battle, of his predecessor and half-brother Sokkade. Characteristic for its low terraces and its almost cylindrical bell-shaped dome, the Myin Ka Ba pagoda has this particular interest. Its village of the same name is above all the stronghold of the region's craftsmen: from sand paintings to lacquerware. Crockery and other bamboo boxes are then meticulously covered with 14 layers of lacquer.
