Eindawya Pagoda (Burmese: အိမ်တော်ရာဘုရား; lit.'royal house pagoda') is a Buddhist stupa located in Mandalay, Myanmar.[1] It was built by King Pagan Min in 1847,[1] on the site of his residence before he ascended the throne; gilt from top to bottom; a shrine of fine proportions.[1] The pagoda was built on the site of Pagan Min's summer house, when he was a prince.[2] The pagoda stands at a height of 114 feet (35 m).[2]
