Mrauk U, Rakhine State · 20.6020°, 93.1934°
A Mrauk U stupa built in 1525 under King Min Khaung Raza and renovated in 1625 by King Thiri Thudhamma, rising through eight octagonal tiers to five tapering ones. Sixteen Buddha images sit in niches on the first tier, and the name, meaning coloured tile, comes from the sixty glazed petals in red, yellow, blue and green set into the square stone wall around it.
