Nandamannya Temple

Type of monument	: Single chambered Temple
Location	:
Region	: Minnanthu
Built by	: Unknown
Date	: Mid 13th Century
Monument Number	:

Nandamannya Pagoda was built in the mid-13th century. It is a single-chambered temple has very fine frescoes and a ruined, seated Buddha image. The murals' similarity with those at Payathonzu has led some art historians to suggest they were painted by the same hand. One of the murals represents the 'temptation of Mara' episode in which nubile young females attempt to distract the Buddha from the meditation session that led to his enlightenment.
