Today, Ava - its traditional name is 'Rathapura', 'The City of Gems' - does not look much like jewels any longer. It is a little dusty town at the intersection of the Ayeyawaddy River and the Myitnge River nearly as honest as it was before this locale around the 11 villages of the Kyaukse region, the core of another Burmese kingdom, came to fruition after Pagan was tumbled to Kublai Khan's powers in 1287 A.D.
The ascent of Ava, otherwise called Inwa (once in a while spelled Innva or Innwa) to Burma's new power focus was at that point throwing its shadow ahead toward the start of the 1300s when lord Thihathu of Myinsaing the immense granddad of the later ruler Thado Minbya needed to fabricate his new capital at a similar area where it was later worked by Thado Minbya. Be that as it may, the time was not yet ready. Initially it was Sagaing that turned into the focal point of energy in light of the fact that the kingdom of Sagain was one of the little kingdoms, for example, the Kingdom of Myinsaing and the kingdom of Pinya, that flew up in that district in the outcome of Pagan's fall. Under the govern of purported 'burmanised' Shan lords the Sagaing kingdom existed only 49 years from 1315 - 1364 A.D. at the point when ruler Thado Minbya established the kingdom of Inwa/Ava and re-joined focal Burma.
It is intriguing to see the Buddhists conviction that everything is in a steady change reflected in the system of the Burmese lords who where in the propensity for moving their capitals around in a territory estimating somewhere in the range of 50 square kilometers keeping in mind the end goal to start their rule with another castle and another capital.
This is found in the way that the greater part of the antiquated capitals of Burmese kingdoms - from the fall of Bagan to the end when Burma was vanishing as autonomous kingdom on the first of January 1886 - are in the area of Mandalay, the last seat of the Konbaung Dynasty. These old pre-Mandalay capitals are Sagaing, Ava, Amarapura and Shwebo.
What the progressions of the capitals had in like manner is that the in the past relentless urban communities were left to themselves after the wooden imperial structures were destroyed and moved to the new focuses of energy and that they were from that point on in a consistent condition of rot.
The early and mid 1300s were turbulent circumstances in the whole focal Ayeyawaddy valley locale. Guarantees were not kept, collusions broken and wars pursued. At the point when the Shan and the kingdom of Pinya were at war and the Kingdom of Sagaing was going into disrepair the youthful Thado Mibya (conceived ruler Rahula) saw his shot. Presently ruler, he established in 1364 the kingdom of Inwa/Ava. The name Inwa is a variation of the Shan expression 'in-va' what implies as much as 'Access to the Lake'.
The new capital was based on the deliberately critical northern piece of a simulated island that came to be in aftereffect of the burrowing of another channel - the Myittha Chaung - to associate the Ayeyawaddy River with the Myitnge River. What made this place where the court of the kingdom stayed for very nearly 400 years so perfect for a sound state and a capable tradition was that the whole rice exchange of the Kyaukse plain could be controlled and managed from that point what gave and made it a colossal power.
Due to its deliberately imposing area Ava was vanquished a few times. In 1527 by Shans who torched Ava and in 1752 by the Mons. Yet, it remained - with intermissions, for example, from 1555 to 1636 when it had tumbled to the kingdom of Taungoo - the capital of upper Burma. In 1634 it turned into the capital of all Burma - the Kingdom of Ava - for an additional 150 years until the point when it was as desperately recommended by King Bodawpaya's soothsayers totally crushed and overwhelmed after he moved to his new capital Amarapura in 1783/84.
Later Ava was modified by King Bagyidaw (1819 to 1838) who moved the capital from Amarapura back to Ava. In any case, after a quake in 1838 that did genuine harm to Ava King Tharrawaddy (1838 to 1846) came back to Amarapura in 1841. Amarapura than stayed capital until King Mindon (1853 to 1878) moved the seat of the Konbaung tradition to Mandalay from 1859 to 1861. In any case, notwithstanding amid the nineteenth century the whole 'Burmese kingdom (infrequently incredibly misrepresented called 'Realm') was for the most part alluded to and known as the 'Court of Ava'. Among the structures that bear grave observer to Ava's and its encompassing's extraordinary circumstances (and in addition to prior and later circumstances) are the:
A) Gaung Say Daga B) Nanmyin Watchtower, C) Maha Aungmye Bonzan Kyaung D) Htilainshin Pagoda E) Leitutgyi Pagoda F) Lawkatharaphu Pagoda G) Ava Bridge, and H) Bargayar Monastery.
A) Gaung Say Daga
As opposed to the city dividers of other Burmese capitals, Inwa's/Ava's were not square but rather had the state of a 'Chinthe', the undefeatable mysterious being, that is guarding in sets sanctuaries and pagodas all finished Burma. From what little that is left of Ava's city dividers the most total part is the 'Door of the Hair-washing Ceremony' known as 'Gaung Say Gaga'. The hair-washing function is today just performed in individuals' homes each year amid Thingyan as a purging ceremony to welcome the 'Lord of Nats', 'Thagyamin'. In the seasons of the kingdoms the lord needed to wash his hair at this door. The name 'Gaung Say' for the 'hair/head-washing function' has its foundations in 'Gaung Say Kyun', which signifies 'Head-washing Island'. Gaung Say Kyun is a little, pagoda-specked Island off the Gulf of Martaban in northern Mon-State (Moulmein). There, where the Thanlwin, Attaran and Gyaing River meet was the water that was utilized by Burmese lords for the 'Illustrious Hair/Head-washing Ceremony' originating from.
B) Nanmyin Watch Tower
The remains of the 90 feet (27 meters) high brick work 'Nanmyin Watchtower' are arranged close to the Gaung Say Gaga. The Nanmyin watchtower is all that is left of King Bagyidaw's royal residence that was intensely harmed by the quake in 1838 that caused impressive harm all through the whole zone. The upper stage of the pinnacle fallen and the pinnacle started inclining to the other side on the grounds that the earth underneath the pinnacle split away. Consequently the Nanmyin Watchtower is likewise called the inclining tower.
C) Maha Aungmye Bonzan Kyaung
The 'Maha Aungmye Bonzan Kyaung', otherwise called 'alright Kyaung' is a strong block structure worked in the engineering style of the more typical teak cloisters. It is a tall, stucco-enriched constructing, worked in 1818 by King Bagyidaw's significant other, Queen Nanmadaw Me Nu, for the Abbot Sayadaw Nyaunggan. It is said that she had a sentimental association with this Sayadaw.
While the majority of the teak religious communities don't exist any longer the Maha Aungmye Bonzan has on account of its brick work made due as well as is the best saved one of the greater part of Ava's structures. Put in the focal point of the religious community is a with glass mosaic trimmed platform over which rests a picture of Gautama Buddha. The seven-layered petition corridor alongside the Maha Aungmye Bonzan Kyaung was extremely harmed by the 1838 seismic tremor and repaired in 1873 by King Bagyidaw's and Queen Nanmadaw Me Nu's girl, Princess Hsinbyumashin.
D) Htilainshin Pagoda
The 'Htilainshin Pagoda' is one of the numerous pagodas in the Ava area and was worked by King Kyanzittha (1084 to 1112) of Pagan, likewise known under his traditional name Thiluin Man. An engraving that records the development of the wooden royal residence amid the primary Ava line can be found in a close-by shed.
E) Leitutgyi Pagoda and F) Lawkatharaphu Pagoda
The 'Leitutgyi Pagoda', an immense four-story pagoda, and the 'Lawkatharapyu Pagoda' are two more vital pagodas in Ava. Them two are intriguing structures and situated in the southern piece of Ava.
G) Ava Bridge
Arranged north of Ava is the in 1934 by the British fabricated 'Ava Bridge', likewise called 'Sagaing Bridge', which was until the 1990s the main extension spreading over the Ayeyawaddy River. Later four more scaffolds were constructed. The Ava Bridge is a great, ten-traverse ironwork that interfaces Ava with Sagaing about 20 kilometers south of Mandalay. It was because of its military significance mostly (two of its ranges) exploded by the British in World War II with a specific end goal to stop the progress of the Japanese powers. The scaffold was repaired and revived in 1954.
H) Bargayar Monastery
This religious community is worked in customary Burmese wood engineering altogether of teak that is attributable to the specialist connected to keep the wood's being eaten by termites relatively dark. The Bargayar cloister is - albeit stark climate worn and somewhat somber at first look - a noteworthy religious community. Not just on account of the 267 teak columns (every 20 meter/67.7 ft high) on which the rooftop is resting yet additionally as a result of the wealth of customary intentions unpredictably cut into the wood. A significant number of the cloister's door jambs, its balustrades, handrails and different components that make up the religious community (both inside and outside) are extravagantly adorned with these luxuriously cut enhancements. The religious community's excellence lies in the subtle elements as opposed to the structure itself. The Bargayar Monastery houses a brilliant Buddha picture and is occupied by ponyis whose lives are controlled by the strict regimen of Gautama Buddha's lessons and directions. It is an extremely peaceful place and just the priests' serenade of religious verses can be heard.
Nearing the finish of this article one can scarcely say that the account of Ava/Inwa has a cheerful closure. Ava doesn't profit by its old radiance as much as other previous capitals of old Burmese kingdoms, for example, Bagan and Mandalay as far as tourism-related pay.
Thus, aside from its stark blurred radiance as a capable capital in time long past circumstances and some old structures giving testimony regarding these magnificent days exhibit day Ava has next to no motivation to sparkle. Be that as it may, there is something I need to let you know preceding my finishing up this article on Ava. It is terrible news for the manager of old and much cherished customs and uplifting news for the individuals who are partial to reusing.
Ok, now I can see the question marks flying up in your eyes. I can read your psyche. What on earth has Ava to do with reusing? With respect to old and much adored conventions I can envision that A
