Atumashi Monastery, Buddhist monastery in Mandalay, Myanmar.

The Atumashi Monastery features a grand prayer hall with five graduated rectangular terraces, displaying traditional Burmese architectural elements throughout its structure.

King Mindon Min commissioned the construction of this monastery in 1857, investing 500,000 rupees in its development following the relocation of the capital to Mandalay.

The monastery maintains its function as a Buddhist center where monks study religious texts and practice meditation according to Theravada Buddhist traditions.

Located east of Shwenandaw Monastery, visitors can access the site through designated pathways and should wear appropriate clothing that covers shoulders and knees.

The original monastery contained a Buddha statue adorned with a 19.2-carat diamond, which disappeared during the devastating fire of 1890.
