Interesting Places in Kyaukse

Tamote Shinpin Shwegugyi Temple

Tamote Shinpin Shwegugyi Temple is located by the road side of Tada Oo, 6 miles (10km) north of Kyaukse in Mandalay Region. The temple hidden inside the hill is recently discovered by the locals. The first one-storey temple was built by King Anawrahta in the 11th century and the second-storey added by King Narapatisithu in 12th century. In the 14th century, King Uzana encased the whole temple inside a huge stupa. All of this was further hidden and protected by time and nature. Masonry work, flora and mythical creature motifs are similar to those found in Bagan temples. There is an image of three enclosed Buddha of Bagan era. There are also some wall paintings in the tunnels.
