EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, believed to date back to the late 1890s, showcases the majestic Thatbyinnyu Temple in Bagan, Myanmar (formerly known as Burma). Located in the ancient city of Pagan, this temple is a remarkable testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of the Burmese people and the spread of Buddhism in Asia. Thatbyinnyu Temple, standing at an impressive height of 61 meters (200 feet), is one of the most architecturally significant structures in Bagan. Its rectangular shape, crowned by a tall, curved spire, is a distinctive feature of the Mon-style architecture prevalent during the Pagan Kingdom period (1044-1287 AD). The temple's intricate brickwork, adorned with intricate ornamentation and decorative motifs, reflects the masterful craftsmanship of the ancient Burmese artisans. The serene atmosphere surrounding the temple is further emphasized by the lush greenery and the tranquil landscape, which has remained relatively unchanged over the centuries. The photograph captures the temple in its timeless beauty, inviting us to contemplate the deep spiritual significance of this ancient place of worship. Thatbyinnyu Temple holds immense historical importance as it is one of the few structures in Bagan that survived the numerous earthquakes and invasions throughout history. It continues to be a popular destination for tourists and pilgrims alike, drawing visitors from all corners of the world to marvel at its architectural grandeur and the enduring legacy of Buddhism in Myanmar.
