Beschreibung

Tha Kha Wun Kyaung is a monastery in Mandalay. It was donated 1879 from Kinwun Mingyi, who was the last Prime Minster of Myanmar. Dr. Gregor Wessels investigated this astonishing architecture and discovered this building again to write the book East Western Divan. DCasia supported him with surveying, photographs, graphic drawings and documentation.
