Amarapura was the capital of Myanmar twice during the Konbaung period, first between 1783 and 1821 and then again between 1842 and 1859. Today, it is part of Mandalay, the second biggest city in the country. It has many temples, pagodas and kyoungs (monasteries) that were not even built or completed when Tripe took his pictures back in 1855.
