Dhamma-yan-gyi Pagoda
You can see hazy Dhamma-yan-gyi Pagoda in the long distance . The silhouette of Dhamman-yan-gyi looks like a pyramid in Egypt . BAGAN people call him ' Ghost temple ' that's why there is informal evil tradition . Long time ago 2 prince lived in BAGAN . They ware brother of course . Younger brother wanted to be a KING . So he killed his brother . After that he became a KING of BAGAN . and built new pagoda . It was Dhamma-yan-gyi .
Ordinary Myanmar people like an odd number for lucky and dislike an even number . Almost all of pagoda have a statue of Buddha every direction . But Dhamma-yan-gyi has twin set statue of Buddha each direction . And inside of pagoda have a terrible smell by bat's droppings . So I do not want to enter it .
