Enyakatho esentshonalanga yoMlambo i-Irrawaddy eMyanmar , kunomhlaba omkhulu lapho umhlabathi udwetshwe khona emthunzini wezethusi, futhi phakathi kwamahlathi aminyango nezinhlanzi ezishisayo, iziqongo zethempeli lasendulo zibonwa - le ndawo ibizwa ngokuthi i-Arimaddana, noma i-Blasted Lands. Ekuqaleni kweminyaka eyizinkulungwane zokugcina, idolobha elihle laseBagan lakhiwa lapha, umlando wayo wawusheshe futhi ukhululekile. Namuhla, esakhiweni senhloko-dolobha yasendulo, kunamadolobhana ambalwa kuphela kanye nesikhumulo sezindiza esincane sokubaluleka kwendawo, kodwa lezo zakhiwo ezimangalisayo eziye zasinda amakhulu eminyaka, zibonisa ngokucacile ubukhulu bokuqala kombuso ofile. Okudume kakhulu yilethempeli elikhulu iDamayandzhi, lisakaze ngamamayela amaningi.
Izakhiwo zethempeli
Izakhiwo ezinkulu zethempelini ezinkulu zakhiwa eduze komuzi waseBagan: izindawo ezingcwele ezingaphezu kuka-4 000 zamaBuddhist zitholakala ensimini engaba amakhilomitha angama-40 square. Kunezikhonkwane ezintathu eziyinhloko zeBagan (noma iPagan lasendulo): i-Damayandji, inkulu kunazo zonke, i- Ananda enezithombe eziveziwe kanye noTatbinyi, ezibhekwa njengeziphakeme kakhulu esigodini. Kodwa-ke, ezinye izakhiwo zenkimbinkimbi kufanele zifanele ukunakekelwa. Iqiniso elidabukisayo ngukuthi naphezu kwayo yonke imizamo yesisekelo se-UNESCO, kwakungenzeka ukumemezela isakhiwo esiyinkimbinkimbi njengendawo yeGugu Lomhlaba ngezizathu eziningana.
Njalo ngonyaka, amakhulu ezinkulungwane zezivakashi ahambela eMyanmar ukubona nje iDamayandji kuqala. Kuzo zonke izindlu zethempeli zinamapulatifomu akhethekile okubuka, futhi ezindaweni eziningi kukhona izindlela ezilula. Kubalulekile ukucabangela ukuthi wonke amasonto anamahora ahlukene okusebenza, nakuba ngesilinganiso isikhathi sokuvakashela ensimini yinkimbinkimbi yonke sinjalo. Ukuze ungene ensimini yendlu engcwele yasendulo yeBuddhist kuyadingeka ukuba ube nethikithi nawe, ongayithengela khona emnyango.
Ithempeli elikhulu laseBagan
Ngokusho komlando, ithempeli elikhulu kunazo zonke elisezindaweni eziyinkimbinkimbi, okwamnika igama leDamayandji, elakhiwe yilo mlawuli ukuze ahlawulelwe izono ezinkulu: kuthiwa ukuphakama esihlalweni sobukhosi seNkosi uNaratu kwakuyigazi, nokuthi le ndoda ethandekayo ayizange idideke ngisho ne-parricide. Kodwa lapho eqala ukwakhiwa kwendlu engcwele, uNaratu akazange ashintshe intukuthelo yakhe - inkosi yayithembisa ukubulala abakhi, uma inganamathela inaliti emasongweni. Kufanele kuqaphele ukuthi ukuhlukunyezwa kombusi kwaba nethonya - ukunemba kokufaka izitini zethempelini laseDamaijia kuyinto ephelele kunabo bonke emlandweni wezakhiwo zobuBurma.
Kodwa, naphezu kokwanda okumangalisayo kwesakhiwo, izigcawu ezimbalwa kanye namabhaloni ethempelini atholakala ukuvakashelwa: amakamelo angaphakathi avulekile futhi ahlanganiswe ngendwangu, engakwazi ukususwa ngaphandle kokulimaza izindonga.
Ungayithola kanjani ekamelweni lethempelini leDamayjejee?
Indlela elula yokufika eDamayandji yizindiza: ukusuka eYangon esiseduze kuya eBagan, izindiza eziningana zithunyelwa nsuku zonke, uhambo luthatha isikhathi eside kunehora. Indlela esuka eMandalay igijima ngasemfuleni i-Irrawaddy: ezindaweni zokuvuna eziya eBagan zingafinyelelwa emahoreni ayisishiyagalolunye, kepha emuva eMandalay ngokumelene namanje emfuleni uyogebha isikhathi esingangesithathu. Ngaphandle kwalokho, ungaya eBagan ngezokuthutha umphakathi noma itekisi, kodwa lokhu kuyindlela yokuvakasha abayisiguli esiphezulu futhi abahlukumezayo ezimweni.
