Sagaing

Sagaing
   The capital of Sagaing Division, located on the west bank of the Irrawaddy (Ayeyarwady) River, across from Mandalay. With an estimated population of 60,798 in 1996, it is one of Burma's historically most important cities, having served as a royal capital in the 14th century and for a few years in the 18th century (1760-1764), under the Konbaung Dynasty. The Sagaing Hills contain a large number of Buddhist monasteries, and the city is well known as a center of study and meditation; many Buddhist nuns (silashin) reside there. Nearby is the 17th-century Kaunghmudaw Pagoda.
   See also Amarapura; Ava (Inwa).
