Andaw Thein Temple
Buddhist Temples
Andaw Thein Temple first became famous as a reliquary for one of the Buddha's teeth, which historians believe may have originally come from Sri Lanka. The name literally translates to “tooth shrine,” and tours of Mrauk U stop here to appreciate the distinctive pagodas, very much unlike what you’ll see in other parts of Myanmar.

Htukkant Thein Temple
Buddhist Temples
Htukkanthein Temple is one of the most famous temples in the ancient Arakanese city of Mrauk U, in Rakhine State, Western Myanmar. The name means “Cross-Beam Ordination Hall“. Like most of Mrauk U’s Buddhist temples, it is designed as a dual purpose ‘fortress-temple’. Although it is a ‘thein’, it is one of the most militaristic buildings in Mrauk U, built on raised ground, with a single entrance and small windows. This temple might have been employed as a refuge for the Buddhist religious order
