Information: - Anawrahta Minsaw (; 11 May 1014 11 April 1077) was the founder of the Pagan Empire. Considered the father of the Burmese nation, Anawrahta turned a small principality in the dry zone of Upper Burma into the first Burmese Empire that formed the basis of modern-day Burma (Myanmar). Historically verifiable Burmese history begins with his accession to the Pagan throne in 1044. - Thailand (or ), officially the Kingdom of Thailand, formerly known as Siam, is a country at the centre of the Indochinese peninsula in Southeast Asia. With a total area of approximately , Thailand is the world's 51st-largest country. It is the 20th-most-populous country in the world, with around 66 million people. The capital and largest city is Bangkok. - Sri Lanka (or ; Sinhalese: ', Tamil: "Ilakai"), officially the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka (formerly known as Ceylon), is an island country in South Asia near south-east India. Sri Lanka has maritime borders with India to the northwest and the Maldives to the southwest. - Thaton is a town in Mon State, in southern Myanmar on the Tenasserim plains. Thaton lies along the National Highway 8 and is also connected by the National Road 85. - Mainland Southeast Asia, also known as the Indochinese Peninsula and previously Indochina, is the continental portion of Southeast Asia lying east of India and south of China, bounded by the Indian Ocean to the west and the Pacific Ocean to the east. - Lower Burma (also called Outer Myanmar) is a geographic region of Burma (Myanmar) and includes the low-lying Irrawaddy delta (Ayeyarwady, Bago and Yangon Regions), as well as coastal regions of the country (Rakhine and Mon States and Tanintharyi Region). - Mon kingdoms were political establishments by the Mon-speaking people that ruled large sections of present-day Burma (Myanmar) at various times in the last 1200 years. The kingdoms in chronological order are the Thaton Kingdom (9th century1057), the Hanthawaddy Kingdom (12871539), and the Restored Hanthawaddy Kingdom (17401757). - Upper Burma (also called Real Myanmar) refers to a geographic region of Burma (Myanmar), traditionally encompassing Mandalay and its periphery (modern Mandalay, Sagaing, Magway Regions), or more broadly speaking, Kachin and Shan States. - South India is the area encompassing the Indian states of Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala, and Telangana as well as the union territories of Andaman and Nicobar, Lakshadweep and Puducherry, occupying 19.31% of India's area. Covering the southern part of the peninsular Deccan Plateau, South India is bounded by the Bay of Bengal in the east, the Arabian Sea in the west and the Indian Ocean in the south. The geography of the region is diverse with two mountain ranges - the Western and Eastern Ghats, bordering the plateau heartland. Godavari, Krishna, Kaveri, Tungabhadra and Vaigai rivers are important non-perennial sources of water. Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Visakhapatnam, Vijayawada, Coimbatore and Kochi are the largest urban areas. - The Burmese language (MLCTS: "myanma bhasa", IPA: ) is the official language of Myanmar. Although the Constitution of Myanmar officially recognizes the English name of the language as the Myanmar language, most English speakers continue to refer to the language as Burmese. In 2007, it was spoken as a first language by 33 million, primarily the Bamar (Burman) people and related ethnic groups, and as a second language by 10 million, particularly ethnic minorities in Myanmar and neighboring countries. - The Kingdom of Pagan (, lit. "Pagan Period"; also commonly known as the Pagan Dynasty and the Pagan Empire) was the first kingdom to unify the regions that would later constitute modern-day Burma (Myanmar). Pagan's 250-year rule over the Irrawaddy valley and its periphery laid the foundation for the ascent of Burmese language and culture, the spread of Burman ethnicity in Upper Burma, and the growth of Theravada Buddhism in Burma and in mainland Southeast Asia. - The Thaton Kingdom or Thuwunnabumi (or ) was a Mon kingdom, believed to have existed in Lower Burma from at least the 4th century BC to the middle of the 11th century AD. One of many Mon kingdoms that existed in modern-day Lower Burma and Thailand, the kingdom was essentially a city-state centered on the city of Thaton. It traded directly with South India and Sri Lanka, and became a primary center of Theravada Buddhism in South-East Asia. Thaton, like other Mon kingdoms, faced the gradual encroachment of the Khmer Empire. But it was the Pagan Kingdom from the north that conquered the fabled kingdom in 1057. - The Khmer Empire, officially the Angkor Empire, the predecessor state to modern Cambodia ("Kampuchea" or "Srok Khmer" to the Khmer people), was a powerful Hindu-Buddhist empire in Southeast Asia. The empire, which grew out of the former kingdoms of Funan and Chenla, at times ruled over and/or vassalised most of mainland Southeast Asia. - Manuha ( Burmese : ; Mon : ) , or Makuta , was the last king of Thaton Kingdom . Manuha ruled Thaton from 1030s until 1057 when he was defeated by King Anawrahta of Pagan Kingdom . According to the Mon tradition , Manuha was the 59th in the line of kings who supposedly founded Thaton during the time of the Buddha in the 6th century BCE . Traditional Burmese and Mon reconstructions also hold that Anawrahta , a recent convert to Theravada Buddhism , asked for the Theravada Buddhist canon from Manuha . The Mon king reputedly rejected Anawrahta 's request , saying that the uncultured Burmans of the north were not worthy of the religion . This refusal was used by Anawrahta as pretense to invade and conquer the Mon kingdom . Despite this account , it is more likely Anawrahta conquered Thaton in order to check the westward advance of Khmer Empire in the Tenasserim coast . Still according to traditional belief , Manuha and his family along with some 30,000 monks and artisans , were brought back to Pagan ( Bagan ) . Between 1050 and about 1085 , Mon craftsmen and artisans helped to build some two thousand monuments at Pagan , the remains of which today rival the splendors of Angkor Wat . However , recent research -- still a minority view -- argues that Mon influence on the interior after Anawrahta 's conquest is a greatly exaggerated post-Pagan legend , and that Lower Burma in fact lacked a substantial independent polity prior to Pagan 's expansion . Historian Michael Aung - Thwin ( Aung - Thwin 2005 ) argues that the existence of Thaton is not supported by contemporary evidence . Manuha asked and was allowed to build the Manuha Temple in Pagan in 1059 . Inside the temple three giant sitting Buddha statues seem too large for their enclosures , and their cramped , uncomfortable positions are said to represent the stress and lack of comfort the ' captive king ' had to endure .
