A very small stupa, Min-O-Chantha was built in 1112 during the reign of King Kyansittha.
We went around noon and the hot blazing sun burnt our feet as we ran up the steps without any footwear. In order to reach the top to some shade, I forgot to take pictures. This, I realized when I started writing this post.
The temple stands on a raised platform and is made of wood.
History of temple:
King Kyansittha became seriously ill in 1112. He had recieved nine relics from the king of Sri Lanka. which he wanted to enshrine. The nine relics were enshrined here. He became seriously ill and prayed that he be free from diseases and live longer. But, sadly he passed the following year.

It is a temple complex in which are enshrined the relics.
