Near the Bupaya, lies this pagoda in Sinhalese character. This
pagoda contains relics mounted on top of the bell-shaped main
structure in a square-based relic chamber.
It was probably built in
the 12th century and stands towards the river, near the Bupaya.
During the12th century, there were good ties between the people of
Bagan and the people Sri Lanka, so the cultural influences were all
mixed up in such small building.
