Andaw-thein Ordination Hall, Buddhist ordination hall in Mrauk-U Township, Myanmar.
The Andaw-thein Temple stands near the Shite-thaung Temple, featuring an octagonal structure constructed entirely from sandstone blocks at its core location.
King Thazata established this sacred building in 1515 as an ordination hall, which King Raza II later transformed into a temple after returning from Ceylon.
The temple contains meditation halls where Buddhist monks conduct traditional ordination ceremonies and preserve religious practices of the Theravada tradition.
Located at coordinates 20.718333°N and 93.108333°E, visitors need to arrange transportation from Sittwe to reach this religious structure in Mrauk-U Township.
The temple received its name 'Andaw-thein' meaning 'Tooth Shrine' after housing a tooth relic of Buddha brought from Sri Lanka in the 16th century.
