Amay Yay Yin

The queen harbored resentment toward them and tried to cause mischief by telling King Alaungsithu that she had dreamt that the five siblings from the Kadu region were planning to seize the throne and that they were witches (kaweis).

On the day of their visit to the palace, while walking down the street, Saw Nan Mu carried a pot of sesame oil on her head.

[1] Considering these events, the king suspected she was a witch because she transformed into a snake from the sesame oil, resulting in the governor's death.

However, he didn't follow the order and fled from Pagan, ultimately falling into an abyss where he met his demise and became a nat.

She went up to the Ponetaung Ponenya region, and as she walked to Pagan, water sprang forth when she angrily dug the ground with her heel.

The middle part fell into Yaw, where many people in that region are said to automatically learn magic arts within their mother's womb.

[1] Her local followers believe that by worshiping her, they will experience a productive harvest, successful business, and support for increasing their crops and health.

Amay Yay Yin's shrine is situated at ninety-nine water reservoirs in Yinmabin Township.

The festival of Amay Yay Yin is celebrated on the full moon day of Tabaung each year in Zeetaw village, Yinmabin Township.

People from the Pontaung Ponnya area gather to offer bananas, coconuts, flowers, and Eugenia myrtifolia at the shrine during the Amay Yay Yin festival.
