Dhammayangyi Pahto is the largest Temple in Bagan.

Legend has it that the pyramidical temple which features very fine brickwork was built by a wicked king (an angry ogre). If the workers made a building mistake, he would throw them off the temple roof to their death. It seems that he must have been assassinated by his workers. The temple was never finished.
