The Umin Thonze Pagoda (Burmese: ဥမင် သုံးဆယ် ဘုရား) is a Buddhist stupa, located in the Sagaing Hills, Myanmar.[1][2] The pagoda was founded by King Tarabya I (r. 1327–1335/36) of Sagaing.[citation needed] It was renovated in 1643 and in 1723.[3] In 1838, the pagoda was essentially destroyed by a major earthquake. King Pagan Min (r. 1846–53) rebuilt the pagoda, completing it in 1847.[note 1] It has a cave with 45 seated Buddha images arranged in a curved formation and behind them decorated with sparkling glass-works.
