Built in 1571 by King Min Phalaung. The feature of Htukkant Thein is a big Stupa in center and four smaller stupa at the corners. It looks like a fortress more than a temple, built on raised ground, with a single entrance and small windows. Interior is amazing. There are three chambers , linking by outer and inner looping corridors. Lining the corridor are Buddha images in niches. On each side of the niches are sculpted male and a female figures said to represent the donors who financed construction to the temple. There are total 180 Buddha images (179 smaller ones along the corridors, and 1 at the central vaulted chamber)

First of all, I want to apologize for the rollback photo. Some people have been unable to return home because certain areas remain unsafe due to events such as the COVID-19 pandemic, civil war, flooding, and earthquakes that occurred between 2019 and 2025. Edited: April 8, 2025 Remembrance : 6June2017 View point to Htukkant Thein Temple with my Team. Thanks World.

This is a evidence of Arakan Kingdom. The structure and architecture of this temple is very interesting. It is worth to be in the record of the UNISCOO. It is worth to spend time here and to study about the Religion of the Arakan Kingdom. Local people are very friendly and they are keen to explain about the history of the temple.
