Die Htupayon Pagode (birmanisch ထူပါရုံ ဘုရား, ) ist ein Sakralbau in Mrauk U, Rakhine State, Myanmar. Construction of the pagoda was commissioned by King Min Ran Aung in 1494. The eight-year-old king likely never saw the completion of the pagoda as he was assassinated by his own ministers just six months into his reign.[1] The pagoda, located in the northern sector of Mrauk-U, was considered auspicious by later Arakanese kings who visited its precincts after the coronation ceremony to take an oath for the well being of the country during their reign.[2]
