Shwegugyi
info Shwegugyi (ရွှေဂူကြီး ဘုရား) is built by Alaungsithu in 1311, this smaller but elegant pahto is an example of the Middle period, a transition in architectural style from the dark and cloistered to the airy and light.
This brighter design was carried out through the use of more open doorways and windows. The basic profile of the temple, whose name means 'Great Golden Cave', presages the magnificent Gadawtpalin Pahto with its corncob sikhara - a scaled-down version of the one at Ananda Pahto - and the move toward vertically.

Shwegugyi is also notable for its fine stucco carvings and for the stone slabs in the inner wall which tell its history, including the fact that its construction took seven and a half months.
