Maha Alula Thakya Yanthi Sedatkyee Image

The Sedatkyee Buddha Image lies in Hinthada, Ayeyarwady Division. It was built by First Dvara Missionary Sayadaw Ashin Cindima Lankara Saddhama Ramsi's disciples when he passed away in 1268. It was built to be 45 feet high to mark the 45 years that Buddha had spent showing the Dhamma to all disciples. The meaning of Sedatkyee is having a height of 10 stories building. 

It was on a throne six cubits high. Foundation stone was laid on 2nd waning moon day of Tabodwe, 1271, and it was completed on the 5th waning moon day of Tagu 1275. It was also called Sedatkyee (Ten layers) as it contained ten layers of enshrinement — four in the first tier, three in the second tier and three in the third tier.
