ArchitectureShwegugyi

Shwegugyi is considered to be the example of the transition period, between the tradition of the dim and the bright interior. The windows of this temple become fully-opened without any lattice allowing the light to penetrate inside the temple. The door at the centre of the body also allows the brightness light to penetrate into the interior. The roof is devoid of sloping roof but it is now designed in the form of the stepped pyramidal roof. These characters anticipate the later style of the temple in Late Pagan art.
