Road construction from the Statue of King Thado Minphya to the tooth-relic building.
In addition to the construction of the Inwa tooth-relic building to its original design, a road is being constructed from the Statue of King Thado Minphya to that building, according to author and researcher Bo Shake.
The ceremony for laying the gold, silver, emerald, and ruby foundation plaques was held on Tuesday, 2 December, at 8:24 AM, an auspicious time, and the construction was fully funded by a single donor.
Similarly, the road construction to the building was funded by Dr Hla Myint.
Laying the foundation plaques for the Inwa tooth-relic building reconstruction.
“A road is needed from the Statue of Thado Minphya to enter the tooth-relic building. I was only planning to make an earth road. The donor, Sayar Dr Hla Myint, contacted me, saying he will pave a durable gravel road. This road is at the site of the Min Lan that enters the palace,” said Bo Shake.
The Inwa tooth-relic building was originally built by King Bagyidaw, who was the fourth king to establish the city. The current preparations are to reconstruct the tooth-relic building, which was destroyed by an earthquake, back to its original pattern exactly as detailed in the Parabaik. This will allow domestic and international tourists to study a part of Myanmar’s royal traditions. Furthermore, this 40-to-50-feet-high building will serve as a spot from which visitors can view and enjoy the natural beauty of Inwa from a height. This restoration will also recover the long-lost site of a watchtower, adding one more attraction.
