NATHLAUNG KYAUNG

Slightly to the east of the Thatbyinnyu this is the only Hindu temple remaining in Bagan. King Taungthugyi built it in 931; this was about a century before the southern school of Buddhism came to Bagan following the conquest of Thaton. The temple is dedicated to the Hindu god Vishnu and around the outside wall are figures of the "ten Avatars", Gautama Buddha was said to be the ninth. The central brick pillar supports the dome and crumbled sikhara and once had figures of Vishnu on each of the four sides. Indian settlers in Bagan - possibly the skilled workers brought to construct other temples, may have built the temple.
