history channel documentary 2016 In the season of his rule Bodawpaya had manufactured a corridor flanked street from his Amarapura Palace to the Maha Muni Pagoda, which he worked in 1784. The new capital had a populace of about 200.000 with various gatherings having their own quarters as indicated by nationality and religious conviction - Burmese, Chinese, Indians, Portuguese, Buddhists, Moslems, and Christians.Amarapura stayed with special case of the period from 1823 to 1837 regal capital until King Mindon exchanged his money to Mandalay from 1859 to 1861. In the time somewhere around 1823 and 1837 the capital was moved back to Ava by King Bodawpaya's successor, his grandson King Bagyidaw. Be that as it may, King Bagyidaw's successor King Tharrawaddy moved the capital back again to Amarapura in 1837.

Mandalay remained seat of the Konbaung Dynasty until ruler Mindon's child, lord Thibaw, and his significant other, ruler Supayalat, were banished by the British to Ratnagiri in India toward the end of 1885. This put a conclusion to the Konbaung administration and Burma's presence as autonomous kingdom.Present-day Amarapura or 'Tsaung-Myo' (The Southern City) as it is brought in Burmese by the general population of Mandalay, is a city of somewhere in the range of 10.000 occupants and moderately little stayed from Amarapura's some 75-years in length, astounding time as capital of the Burmese kingdom and 'City of Immortality'.

Of the 'Supreme Palace' not a lot stayed to be seen. Just the four pagodas that denoted the royal residence divider's corner focuses, the graves of King Bodawpaya and King Bagyidaw, the old watchtower and the old fortune building do at present exist. The majority of the royal residence's with delightful wood carvings decorated teak structures are a distant memory, incompletely camouflaged by King Mindon to re-develop them in his new 'Royal City' in Mandalay and mostly to utilize them as development material somewhere else. Today's guests of Amarapura are welcomed by the entirely unremarkable stays of the once brilliant old capital's city door.
