Thihoshin Pagoda (Burmese: သီဟိုဠ်ရှင်စေတီ) is a famous Buddhist pagoda in Pakokku, Magway Region, Myanmar.[1] The pagoda was initiated and offered by King Vijayabahu I(Ashoka Rama), king of Sri Lanka, who reigned until 1110. It was completed during the reign of King Alaungsithu (1090-1167).[1] A pagoda festival is held every year between May and June, from the 8th to 10th waxing days of the Burmese month of Nayon.[1][2]
