Maha Muni Thun Paya
 A replica of Maha Myat Muni Buddha Image in
Mandalay is situated opposite of Kyaikpawlaw Image
in Gangaw Ward, Kyaikhto, Mon State.
In 1255 (Sakarit year), pious couple U Ant and
Daw Goon paid obeisance to Maha Myat Muni in
Mandalay and had an urge to pay obeisance to its
replica in Kyaikhtiyo, and so they sought the
permission of King Thipaw's elder sister to get a
cast of the Image in 1256. They got a cast of the
Image from the full moon day of Tazaungmone that
year up to the full moon day of Tabaung the same
year. After that they cast the Image with over 3000
viss of alloy of gold, silver, bronze and mogyo
donated by one and all.
Its throne is four cubits high, and the height of
the image itself is over seven cubits.
