Today only one pagoda next to the platform is left. The pagoda is the place where the monks in the city came to worship. The Mor pagoda has three square layers, each a little smaller than the one below it. The platform beside the pagoda was one of the central temple structures, and in its side walls were carved niches housing Buddha figurines. Today there are no figurines left, and even the niches themselves are barely visible.
