It is of the same shape as Dhammacakka stupa built by King Thiri Dhamma Thawka at the spot Buddha delivered the first sermon at Migadawon near Baranathi. It also resembles Bawbawgyi Phaya, Phayagyi and Phayama at Thraykhittaya ancient city site of Phyu Period. Reference 1. Ancient Pagodas in Myanmar Vol I , Jan 2003, by Myat Min Hlaing |
