Tharabha Gate

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tharabha Gate (also spelt Sarabha or Tharaba) is the primary gateway to Bagan (formerly Pagan), located to the east. It is one of the few remaining gates to the ancient city boundaries of Bagan. It consists of two brick-walled shrines, each opposing one another, of two guardian nats, named Mahagiri and Shwemyitna, who were executed by order of a king.
