ခုခေတ် မင်းကွန်းခေါင်းလောင်း
မင်းကွန်:ခေါင်းလောင်း Mingun Bell
The pride of Mingun, if not for Mandalay or even for the entire nation, as it is always refers as “The World Largest (Intact) Bell”! King Bodawpaya had it casted in 1808 on an island of Ayarwaddy River to dedicate to his gigantic pagoda. Having 90-tonnes, it is claimed to be the largest hung, un-cracked, working bell in the world, although there is a bell in Moscow, which is three times larger than Mingun bell but cracked. Originally, it was supported with huge teak posts but now replaced with the steels frames after the 1838 earthquake.
