Although it is a 'thein' (ordination hall), it is one of the most militaristic buildings in Mrauk U, built on raised ground, with a single entrance and small windows.

At the centre of the temple is a dome topped with a mushroom shaped crown or hti, surrounded by four smaller stupas at the corners.

The entire temple has a total of 180 Buddha images in niches (179 smaller ones along the corridors, and 1 at the central vaulted chamber).

On each side of the niches are sculpted male and a female figures said to represent the donors who made the construction of the temple possible.

The temple has been claimed to be an inspiration of the ruins founded in Sanhok map of the mobile game PUBG.
