The Maha Wijitawi Sima or the Burmese Temple is built on the low land west of the excavation area. It was built in CE 1934 by Daw Ryu with her daughter Ma Than Myun, and Daw Goom with her son Maung HIa Khaing of Rangoon (Burma). There lays a Buddhist image made of white marble with two other images of the Lord’s disciples. U. Shwe Hiwa Myomathugyi, Dawtlla and Sons, Bassein, Daw Pyu, Daw Goon and Sons of Rangoon donated the Buddha image. In front of the temple there is a library building, Saddhammaransi Library, built by the donation of U. Shwe Win and his wife. In the open courtyard a Buddha image was installed under an umbrella in 1994.
