Setkyathiha Pagoda (Burmese: စကြာသီဟစေတီ) is a notable pagoda in Mandalay, Burma. It is known for a large bronze image of the Buddha cast by King Bagyidaw in Inwa just before the beginning of the First Anglo-Burmese War in 1824.[1] The image was subsequently moved to Amarapura in 1852 when the Second Anglo-Burmese War broke out, and to Mandalay in 1885 when the Third Anglo-Burmese War broke out.[1] The pagoda was built in 1884, located south of Zegyo Market on the eastern bank of the Shwetachaung Canal.[2]
