The Tayok Pye Temple is by far the largest in this particular group of temples and one of the most ornate. Dating from the 13th century, it is richly adorned outside with much surviving stucco ornamentation, whilst within its four main chambers still contain significant portions of the original mural decoration.

Part of a group of small temples and pagodas in the east of the Bagan Archaeological Zone.

The famous archaeological zone of Bagan (formerly called Pagan) contains over 2000 ancient temples and stupas spread across the area. Most of the structures seen today date from between the 9th & 13th centuries when the city was capital of the Pagan Kingdom. All the temples are brick-built, and formerly were covered with rich stucco ornamentation inside and out (elements of this survive at certain temples).
