Hsinbyume Pagoda, also known as the Myatheindan Pagoda, is a striking white pagoda located in Mingun, Myanmar. It was built in 1816 by King Bagyidaw, in honor of his first consort, Princess Hsinbyume, who died in childbirth.

The pagoda is characterized by its unique design, with seven concentric terraces that are decorated with white elephant statues, mythical creatures, and other intricate carvings. The white color of the pagoda is symbolic of purity and represents the Buddhist concept of enlightenment.

The Hsinbyume Pagoda is also known for its beautiful setting, surrounded by gardens and overlooked by the nearby Mingun Pagoda. Visitors can climb to the top of the pagoda for a panoramic view of the surrounding countryside.

The pagoda suffered damage during an earthquake in 1838 and was later restored in the early 20th century. Today, it is a popular tourist attraction and a significant religious site for Buddhists in Myanmar.
