It was known that the fourth City of Bagan had twelve gates around the city wall. The western and the north western parts have been totally washed away by the river. Only this eastern gateway is left. Most of the structure has been ruined by weather and the earthquake of 1975. Stucco carvings of ogre clutching garlands and chaplets of pearls can be discerned. There is a masonry shrine of quite massive proportions on each side of the gateway. One commemorating the Lord of the Gate Mountain also known as "Pabe Maung Tint Te" and the other his Sister "Shwe Myathnar". They are regarded to be guarding the city.
