Pyu Type Stupas in Old Bagan Area Kay Zin Htun Bagan belongs to archaeological monuments of nearly 4000 religious buildings and some of them are preserved in the original form but some of the buildings still exist in mounds. Among them, some of the monuments are stupas, and they have many variants such as the dome stupa, and terrace stupa. The original stupas from India were dome-shaped structures, India style stupas are also found in ancient Pyu sites. In Bagan stupas are mostly bell-shaped dome but some of them are other forms. Other types of stupas are found in the Bagan area in various shapes. Some of the monuments in Bagan are asserted to be those of Pre-Bagan period, named as Pyu type monuments. The Pyu type stupa of Bagan has mostly no decoration, in its earliest time. Pyu type stupas were mostly found along the bank of the river such as, Myinkaba, Thiripyitsayar and Old Bagan area, but these type stupas have not been rarely found in the inland area of Bagan region such as Minnanthu and Hpwa-Saw Area. In Myanmar, Pyu type stupas flourished in Pyu city at first, and then, they evolved during the Bagan dynasty. 2023-01-01 https://meral.edu.mm/records/9016
