Eindawya Pagoda
အိမ်တော်ရာဘုရား
A golden pagoda built in 1847 on the site of King Pagan’s former residence before his accession. Its bell-shaped body is gilded all over, the devotion is strong, and it is a landmark of western Mandalay.
Eindawya Pagoda was built in 1847 by King Pagan on the site of his former residence before he became king. The name means “the place of the royal residence.” Its bell-shaped body is covered in gold leaf that shines in the sunlight, and it is said to house a jade Buddha from Bodh Gaya in India. The temple compound is small but busy with worshippers, and local devotees often come to pray in the late afternoon, while there are fewer tourists. It lies in western Mandalay, about 1 kilometer from Zegyo Market, so it can be visited on the way after shopping. You must remove your shoes.
