Shwe Linpin Pagoda
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shwe Linpin Pagoda (ရွှေလင်းပင်ဘုရား) is a Buddhist temple located in Amarapura, Myanmar. It was built by Hinthada Princess, daughter of King Bodawpaya in 1784 as one of the city's four corner pagodas.[1][2]
According to historical records, in 1784—one year after King Bodawpaya ascended the throne in Amarapura—he ordered the construction of the city's four corner pagodas. He sent a Buddha image—originally built by King Narapati Sithu of the Pagan—to be enshrined as a place of worship at the southwestern corner of Amarapura. The temple housing this Buddha image was constructed by his daughter, the Princess of Hinthada, and was named Shwe Linpin Pagoda. The stupa stands at a height of 67 taung (approximately 101 feet).[1]
