Description
Sulamani was the first and most important temple of the late period 1170 to 1300 AD of Bagan monument building. It was one of many temples and stupas built by Sithu II or Narapatisithu 1174-12ll AD, probably as atonement for some of his many misdeeds. It was a direct model for the Htilominlo. It majestically combines the massive verticality of the Thatbyinnyu with the horizontalism and monumentality of the Dhammayangyi.This view of the Sulamani temple is taken from a hot air balloon shortly after sunrise.Sulamani is Bagan Monument Number 748.
