Pyathada temple

The Pyathada Temple is a Buddhist temple in Bagan , Myanmar , about one kilometer southeast of the Sulamani Temple .
The temple was started by King Kyaswa (1234-1250) but never completed. Only the first floor was built, badly damaged in the 1975 earthquake and then restored.

Because of its location southeast of Old Pagan, the four large two-story temples Gawdawpalin , Thatbyinnyu , Sulamani , Htilominlo as well as the Ananda and Dhammayangyi temples can be seen from its terrace .
