What is Understanding Pyatthat Architecture about?
The pyatthat is a multistaged roof structure common in Burmese Buddhist and royal architecture. It features successive rectangular roofs stacked in a pyramidal shape, separated by box-like structures. The number of tiers can range from three to seven, with odd numbers of tiers being most common. In Burmese history, the pyatthat was prominently featured in important religious and royal buildings, and its usage was regulated by sumptuary laws.
