Mandalay, Mandalay · 22.0088°, 96.0883°
A brick stupa in Aungmyethazan Township, Mandalay, which a stone inscription credits to King Kyansittha of the Pagan kingdom in 1064; relics of the Buddha are enshrined in a chamber within it.
What follows is the temple’s own traditional account, transmitted through liturgy and local memory. It is recorded here as tradition, not as attested history.
The pagoda is said to cast no shadow in sunlight, answering Kyansittha's vow that its shadow should never fall again in any of his future births.
