Pathodawgyi
Amarapura
ArchitecturePathodawgyi

The composition of Pathodawgyi is closely similar to Pagan art, especially the triple base decorating the Jātaka panels and the double torus moldings. In the middle of each base, there are staircases providing the access to the circumambulatory path on the top of each base. The bell-shaped element is decorated with Kāla faces disgorging the garland. These above-mentioned characters are under the inspiration of Pagan influences while the elongate banana-bud-liked pinnacle is different from the shorter one in Pagan art.
