Majestic Htilominlo Temple - Built in 1218 - Bagan Myanmar
The Htilominlo temple is a large majestic structure towering 46 meters high. Its design is similar to that of the Sulamani, which was build about three decades earlier by the previous King. The monument is named after its builder, King Htilominlo who was also known as Zeya Theinkha and Nadaungmyar.
According to legend, Htilominlo was chosen to be the next King out of the five sons of King Narapatisithu. The five sons stood in a circle with a white umbrella in the center. When the umbrella would tilt and point towards one of the sons, that son was to be the next King. As the umbrella pointed towards Htilominlo, he was chosen. It is said that the Htilominlo pagoda was built on the spot where he was selected as the next King.
The Htilominlo is a brick structure, that was originally plastered with white stucco, some of which is still in place. The intricately carved stucco contains depictions of ogresses and mythological animals like Makara sea creatures.
The top of the Htilominlo temple comprises of a shikhara, an ornamental tower originating from Northern India. The shikhara is similar to that of the Ananda, except that it is not gilded. A gilded hti, a spire shaped like an umbrella is placed on the shikhara.
The temple contains beautiful murals and frescoes of Buddhist depictions done in several colors. Some of them have faded considerably.
To protect the temple from decay, the terraces are closed and it is no longer possible to climb to the top. The complex is surrounded by a wall with elaborate entrance gates. Around the temple are lots of souvenir stalls selling local handicrafts.
The Htilominlo temple was damaged during the 1975 earthquake, and has since been restored.
This is yet another beautiful temple in Bagan. This place is relatively unknown to tourists but it should be on anyone’s list if they like historical places.
