The Lay-Htat Wut or shrine

This is a new shrine built upon the rubble of another shrine which used to function as an ordination hall. The main Buddha-image there had been fashioned in the likeness of the one in Kyaikmarrow town. There are no decorative frills nor are there any tiered 'Pyathat' structures to the building so that it looks more like a brick residential building than a shrine. Perhaps the building goes to highlight the trend towards architectural diversity found in this pagoda compound.

Condition of the shrine

The shrine is in good condition.
