Towards the eastern edge of the site, Sakya-Man-Aung is a relatively late temple — built in 1629 by King Thiri Thudhamma — and unusually for Mrauk-U is still gilded and in active religious use. Its tapering golden stupa stands on a broad terraced base lined with smaller stupas and seated Buddhas.
Local Rakhine pilgrims visit throughout the year and the temple is busiest during full-moon days and the Mrauk-U cultural festival around the lunar new year. The view from the upper terrace looks across paddy fields toward the eastern temple cluster and Koe-thaung.
