Mingala means “auspicious or kind” in Burmese. It was built in the decline of the Bagan era in the mid-13th century. It is one of the largest monuments in Bagan. Its structure is similar to the prototype of the Burmese Tower - the Ruijin Gongta, which is a solid stupa that you cannot enter. It is a large pagoda built at the end of the 13th century. There are fences so you can't get close to the side, but the overall decoration looks beautiful.
