hawihan (the Temple of Dawn) boast their unique exquisiteness. The priceless art cn the walls above the

windows and in front and back of principle Buddha image, depict four important episodes in the Lord Buddha's

life including: receiving the milked rice with honey, delivering his first sermon, delivering a sermon to his mother

in heaven, and defeating mara, while general mural paintings portray the Lord Buddha's life on temptation by the devil

on the entire wall with the southern one above the window and along the area between windows illustrate the Jataha stories.
