This ‘Sacred Hall of Ordination’ was originally constructed in 1476 by Dhammazedi, the famous alchemist king and son of Queen Shinsawpu. Like almost everything in Bago, it has suffered a tumbledown history and been destroyed and rebuilt many a time. The grounds are peaceful and contain some lovely old wooden buildings.
In a covered shed behind the main hall are 10 large tablets with inscriptions in Pali and Mon describing the history of Buddhism in Myanmar.
