เว็บ baganmyanmar.com ได้บรรยายถึงประวัติความเป็นมาไว้ดังนี้...
Legend has it that King Narapati Sithu had five sons. He had to appoint one of them Crown Prince. He had in mind Zeya Theinkha to succeed him. But to be fair he let the white umbrella which was one of the royal regalia to choose the deserving son. He placed the white umbrella in the center of the sons who were ranged around it. He prayed " May the white umbrella incline towards the son who deserves to be Crown Prince." The white umbrella inclined towards Zeya Theinkha. When Zeya Theinkha became king he built this Pagoda on the site of the white umbrella that inclined toward him. " Htilo Minlo Min" means the king favoured by the white umbrella and the father king.
This Pagoda has three vaulted corridors. The middle corridor is like a dark secret passage going around the central structure, it is reached via entrance hole at the top of a spiral staircase built in the thickness of the wall.
In the main Pagoda, and the fencing walls, bricks were laid by an excellent skill. The spans at the four corners of the main hall are in square shape. They have no iron or wooden beam to buttress. They were built of bricks and cement only. Glazed sandstone tiles of green and yellow colour decorated the structure. They reflect brilliantly in the sunlight. Glazed sandstone tiles are rare decorative artwork. Glazing requires very high temperature. High temperature can cause crack to sandstone tiles. Only skilled technicians could produce such decorative pieces. As in the other monuments, plastic mouldings found at this pagoda are of no mean quality.
เป็นอีกวัดหนึ่งซึ่งนักท่องเที่ยวต้องไม่พลาดครับ!
