Kusinara Ingyin Tawya Phaya in Mandalay is a kind of Buddhist cave temple at the foot of Mandalay Hill (fig.). It is named after Kushinara, i.e. the place in North India where the Buddha died and where his remains were cremated and divided up among eight kings.

Buddha is said to have died in a forest, stretched out between two sala trees and the main hall thus houses a reclining Buddha in the Pahng saiyaat pose during his parinippahn, depicting the Buddha's moment of his demise (fig.), reminiscent of the reclining Buddha image at the Mahaparinirvana Temple in Kushinara.

The cave temple consists of arched rooms, with white walls and ceilings that are decorated with bas-reliefs of tree trunks and branches with gilded leaves, aimed at representing a forest of sala trees, as well as some gilded animals, such as birds and lizards.

Flanking and in front of the reclining Buddha image are some statues of different types of followers of the Buddha, seated on their knees while worshipping the Buddha, including some monks, a brahmin, a yak, and a hermit. Most are performing a wai gesture, with the hands brought together to pay respect (fig.).

In the backside, seated under a white and golden hti, is a statue  of U Khanti (fig.), also known as Po Maung, the tapathi (fig.) or hermit, who in the late 19th to early 20th century AD maintained Mandalay Hill, where some relics of the Buddha are kept and which has the Buddhist temple Sutaungpyay Phaya (fig.) on its summit, and for 40 years organized religious activities.

He died on 14 January 1949 at the age of 80, and his coffin as well as the reuan prasat funeral cart used in his funeral 2 years later and prior to his cremation, is today kept in this temple.
