Culture of Bagan

style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Cambria","serif";mso-bidi-font-family:Arial">Bagan stands out not only for the sheer number of religious edifices but also for the magnificent architecture of the buildings, and their contribution to Burmese temple design. The Bagan temple falls into one of two broad categories: the stupa-style solid temple and the GU-style  hollow temple.

Stupas

A stupa, also called a pagoda, is a massive structure, typically with a relic chamber inside. The Bagan stupas or pagodas evolved from earlier Pyu designs, which in turn were based on the stupadesigns of the Andhra region, particularly Amaravatiand Nagarjunakonda
