Nagayon
info Nagayon Temple (နဂါးရုံဘုရား) is slightly south of Myinkaba, this elegant and well-preserved temple was built by Kyansittha. It is generally kept locked to protect its interesting contents. The main Buddha image is twice life size and shelters under the hood of a huge naga, or serpent. Therefore called "Nagayon".

This reflects the legend that Kyansittha built the temple on the spot where he was sheltered while fleeing from his angry brother and predecessor Sawlu Min, an activity he had to indulge in on more than one occasion.
The outer, dark corridor has many niches with images of the earlier Buddhas. Paintings also decorate the corridor walls. The central shrine has two smaller standing Buddhas as well as the large one. The small ruined stupa of Pawdawmu Paya is located nearby.
