It lies in Indu Circle, Pa-an Township, Kayin State. It was built by Arahant Marainda in 400 under the reign of King Thuwunna in thaton (Thuwunna Bhumi). It is also called Thrraninga (Shwe Yaung Ya) Pagoda.
The place has 55 pagodas. There is also a magic well believed to have some connections with the Lunnya Pagoda. The well is full no matter hos much water is drawn from it; if women should go up to take a look, there would be unseasonal winds and the well would dry up eventually; only when some propitiation is made does the well riso again with water. The second point is that the well can grant wishes to bear child. And the third is its wish-granting for longevity for those bathing there. Reference 1.
