Art | Lemyethna is one of the most ancient Ku or the temple with enterable body in Burmese art. The temple composes of the central solid core for supporting the Śikhara spire (already lost). There are four Buddha images embedded at the central core. The central core is surrounded by the circumambulatory path. The plan of this temple is the predecessor for several later temples, including Ananda. However, Lemyethna is smaller and less complex than Ananda. |
