Burma / Myanmar: Htilaingshin Paya in the ancient capital of Inwa (Ava), Mandalay Region

Parts of the Htilaingshin Pagoda date back to the Bagan period of Burmese history (late 11th century) and were built by King Kyansittha (1030 - 1112). Inwa was the capital of Burma for nearly 360 years, on five separate occasions, from 1365 to 1842. So identified as the seat of power in Burma that Inwa (as the Kingdom of Ava, or the Court of Ava) was the name by which Burma was known to Europeans down to the 19th century.
