Tagundaing is the Burmese term for an ornamented victory column found within the grounds of Burmese Buddhist temples or kyaung. These columns are erected to symbolize the submission of local animistic spirits called nat (fig.) to the dhamma. The top of the column typically features a mythical Hintha or Hamsa, while the base may be adorned with representations of the Satu Lokapala (fig.) or Thagyamin (fig.).
