Pitakataik (Mandalay)

[1] The library was one of seven structures built to mark the foundation and consecration of Mandalay as the royal capital.

[2] It was located at the foot of Mandalay Hill, and was a masonry building with teak joints.

[3] Copies of Tipiṭaka texts were relocated from the Amarapura Pitakataik and deposited at the newly constructed library in January 1864.

[4] The Pitakataik was formerly stocked with Pali and Burmese palm leaf manuscripts which were looted with the onset of British occupation in 1885.

[3] In October 2013, the Sitagu Sayadaw announced a donation to rebuild the Pitakataik, along with the Thudhamma Zayat and Maha Pahtan Ordination Hall, with the consultation of Tampawaddy U Win Maung.
