The Lemyet-hnā, built in the eighth and ninth centuries, is the earliest example of the square temples. ‘It is about 24 feet square and is built in brick, with a solid pier 8 feet square in the centre, surrounded by a corridor 4 feet wide. On each face of the pier are bas-reliefs carved in stone which are lighted from four entrance doorways, one on each side of the temple.’¹
