Gubyaukgyi Temple; near Wetkyi-in village; displays strong Indian influence. Its spire is not the usual cicada shape but straight-sided and tapered like that of the Maha Bodhi Pagoda in Bagan village.
The Gubyaukgyi Temple was restored in 1468. Inside are the remains of tempera wall paintings; including a charming one of Gautama Buddha during his incarnation as a hermit walking with his mother; as well as a frieze of the 28 Buddhas (24 are from previous cosmic worlds; while the last four are from the present world cycle; Gautama being the 28th Buddha). Each one sits under a different tree; for each enlightenment took place under a different species.
