Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Watercolour in pen and ink of a panoramic view of Amarapura looking towards the east.
This laborious and minutely detailed section of the Panorama embraces the whole of the walled city of Umeerapoora, with the King’s Palace rearing its elegant pyasath in the centre...From this view of the capital it will be seen that the great collection of pagodas, and other religious edifices of Umeerapoora, are not within but exterior to the walled city. Of these edifices the principal, which is seen towering high above all the others, is called the ‘Patway-dau-gee’...together with the greater number of those [temples] represented in this drawing, which are all in perfect and careful, preservation, were partially thrown down (for the second time) by an earthquake which occurred during the past year (1856), but have all been restored by the King to their former state. |
