Thambula Temple (482/ 281) (သမ္ဗူလ ဘုရား)
Built in 1255, this representative of a single-storeyed temple in the Late Style takes its name from its builder, Queen Thambula, consort of King Uzana (1249?-1256). However, the name Thambula-a name found in the chronicles- is perhaps not quite right. In the inscriptions it appears as Thonlula, the Myanmar rendition of the Pali Tilokacandadevi. Moon of the Three Worlds.
The Thambula is a square structure with porches on all four sides, and with receding terraces and a curvilinear spire above. The interior, well lit by two high, arched entrances, has mural paintings.
