Htilominlo Temple

A BRIEF BACKGROUND

Built in 1211 A.D. by King Nantaungmya, it is one of the great temples of Bagan. It is a double-storied structure rising 150 feet above the ground level. The square base measures 140 feet on each side. The main vestibule faces east, while smaller projections on the remaining sides provide porches of arched entrances. Portions of fine plaster carvings still survive on the arch pediments, frieze and pilasters. The terraces are decorated with pieces of sandstone glazed in green. The mural paintings in the interior have weathered. There are four Buddhas facing the cardinal points on the ground floor, as well as on the upper story, which is reached by two staircases built in thickness of the walls. Many horoscopes are inscribed on the walls in order to secure them against damage or destruction. “Htilominlo” is the misreading of Tiluimanuiw, which is a Mom rendering – the Blessing of the Three Worlds. On the other hand, “Nantaungmya” is also a misreading of Nataungmya – a king who has many earrings.

I like #4 – a tragedy portrait of the set. I would love it even more if the exposure was +1 from now. Good Job, bro!

It’s just an observation. This picture is beautiful as it is though… :)

So nice shots! Looking at them I really fell in love with Myanmar. I’m from Russia, and I’m going to visit your country next year. Thank you for giving me a chance to watch such a beauty. You can have a look at Russian nature on my web. Just follow the blue link near my photo at the top of the page (in case the page opens in Russian).

Ko YLO, Do you used any circular polarizer on this photo set? I see #1 and #2 has different sky colour.
http://yelwinoo.com/ Ye Lwin Oo

@ K Z Myo >> I did not use any polarizer. I used Gaduated Filter in LR. That’s the reason Sky in #1 is so blue…
