The four great pagodas of Amarapura Khin Myint Swe This paper, "The Four Great Pagodas of Amarapura" is a research on the famous pagodas of Amarapura belonging to the Konbaung Period. King Badon (1782-1819) founded the City of Amarapura, the name referred to as the Immortal City. As the capital Amarapura developed, many religious monuments-pagodas, temples, rest-houses (zayat), monasteries, etc were built at and around Amarapura. These religious monuments were built by the royalty, the nobility as well as by commoners. The pagodas well known today as the Four Great Pagodas are: The Shwe Gu Gyi Pagoda, the Taung Min Gyi Pagoda, the Pahtotawgyi Pagoda and the Taungthaman Kyauktawgyi Pagoda. The largest Buddhist monuments are found to the southwest of the palace site. All of them were built in the glorious period of Amarapura (A.D. 1784-1858). From A.D. 1784-1858 Amarapura was the religious centre for propagation, perpetuation and purification of the Buddha Sasana.
