The village was so named as the soldiers under King Alaung Sithu ordered to dig a pond there brought for each, two and a half ticals of sand for it, and hence the name of the lake, and also the village. The lake is north of the village. In the south is another called peiktha lake. Reference 1. Ancient Pagodas in Myanmar Vol I , Jan 2003, by Myat Min Hlaing |
