Mya Theindan Pagoda

MYA THEINDAN PAGODA OF MINGUN

Mingun is a side on the Ayeyarwaddy River not far from Sagaing and Mandalay. The Mya Theindan pagoda, built in 1816 by the crown prince who later became King Bagyidaw, has a unique architecture. It is in the form of the Sulamuni Pagoda on top of Mt.Meru, which is the Center of the Universe according to ancient scripts and beliefs. The seven wavy rows of concentric terraces represent the seven mountain ranges surrounding Mt.Meru.
