Dhammayangyi Temple, located in Bagan, Myanmar, is the largest of all the temples in Bagan and is known for its massive structure and intriguing history. Built during the reign of King Narathu in the 12th century, it's speculated that the temple was never completed due to the king's violent end. The temple's interior is largely inaccessible, though the exterior is open for exploration. Accessibility can be challenging due to uneven terrain. A visit can be undertaken solo, but a guided tour can offer historical context and insights into the temple's construction and the controversies surrounding its origin. There aren't significant seasonal restrictions, but the dry season (November to February) offers the most pleasant weather for exploring Bagan's temples. Expect to spend 1-2 hours at the site. The cost is typically included in the Bagan Archaeological Zone fee, which covers entry to most temples in the area.
