Nagayon Pagoda (Burmese: နဂါးရုံဘုရား, also known as Nagayon Temple) is a Buddhist temple in Amarapura, a former royal capital in Mandalay Region, Myanmar (Burma). The temple was built by Anauk Nanmadaw Ma Mya Lay, the Queen of the Western Palace during the reign of Bagyidaw, during the first half of the 1800s. The temple's exterior is known for its unusual design. The roof of the temple is draped by the naga Mucalinda, who is said in Buddhist mythology to have protected the Buddha from the elements while achieving enlightenment.
