348. Section of Thapinya. (From Yule.) Scale 50 ft. to 1 in.
Next in rank to this is the Thapinya—the Omniscient—erected about the year 1100 by the grandson of the king who built the Ananda. It is very similar to the Ananda both in dimensions and in plan, except that it has only one porch instead of four, and consequently only one great statue in its cell instead of four standing back to back. Its height is 201 ft., and it is the highest in the place (Woodcuts Nos. [347], [348]).
The third in importance is called the Gaudapalen, built in 1160. This temple is smaller than those just mentioned, but makes up in richness and beauty of detail for its more diminutive dimensions.
The Dhamayangyee, now in ruins, is quite equal in dimensions to the Ananda, and very much resembles it in plan and design; while one called the Sem Byo Koo, is, in its details, the most beautiful of any.
349. View of the Temple of Gaudapalen. (From Yule.)
The general appearance of these temples will be understood from the annexed view ([Woodcut No. 349]) of that called Gaudapalen, and their general arrangements from the section of the Thapinya, of which a plan is given ([Woodcut No. 347]). They are all so similar that it is needless to multiply illustrations, the only real difference being in the greater or less amount of ornament in stucco which has been applied to each.
