Dhammayangyi (Dhammayan) Temple, largest of all the temples in Bagan, Pagan, Myanmar. A UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The largest temple in Bagan, built by a king who murdered his father and brother to take the throne. Narathu had workers' hands cut off if the mortar failed inspection, then was assassinated before it could be finished. His successors sealed the corridors. The brickwork is the finest in Bagan. © Vyacheslav Argenberg, CC BY 4.0, via Wikimedia Commons
