Lawka Marazain Kuthadawgyi

It was first built by King Mindon in 1221. It took three years to complete entirely with its Mahayam Wall. It lies in Dawnabwa Ward of Aungmye Thazan Township, Mandalay Division. King Mindon put the scriptures in stone inscriptions for the Sasana to last more than 5000 years. The Tripitakas in Pali text were placed in 729 inscriptions and placed in Dhamma Zedis. It is known now as the biggest book in stone in the world. It is seen from the top of Manda¬lay Hill, gold shimmering amid the whites of the Dhamma Zedi pagodas all round.
