Tampawaddy

Tampawaddy or Tamrawati( တမ္ပဝတီ,, also spelt Tampavatī, Sanskrit: ताम्बावती Taambavatee, lit. 'City of the Bronze') is a classical name of the city of Bagan (Pagan), Myanmar. According to the Burmese chronicles, King Thaik Taing (r. 516–523) moved the palace from Thiri Pyissaya to nearby Tampawaddy. However, evidence indicates that the earliest human settlement in the Bagan region dates only from the mid-7th century CE.
