Myinkaba Pagoda

Myinkaba Pagoda. Built by Anawrahta, in the I Ith century, in order to expiate the crime of killing his predecessor and half-brother, Sokkade, in battle. It is of bulbous form with round terraces and is situated on the Myinkaba stream, which is so called because Sokkade’s corpse came floating down it together with the saddle. To the shrine are thus attached interesting historical associations, and its peculiar shape bespeaks of its freedom from the influence of the Southern School of Buddhism, which was introduced to Bagan after the conquest of Thaton.
