[2] Having a great aptitude in singing and dancing, Yindaw Ma Lay was sent to Mandalay by the mayor of Yindaw to serve as a royal anyeint preliminary dancer in 1862.[3] Since she was good at singing Myanmar classical songs, in spite of being a local, she became a leading court dancer a year after she arrived at the palace. Yindaw Ma Lay played as Putzabar princess in Indrāvudha court drama, together with Eenaung Mg San Toke.[4] Yindaw Ma Lay later became very popular among Mandalay royal society.[5][6][7] She received the appanage of Yindaw and was hence known as Yindaw Ma Lay or Duke of Yindaw.[8]
In 1868, the Indrāvudha court drama team led by Yindaw Ma Lay was sent on a mission to perform the royal court drama for the governor-general Lord Mayo's Yangon tour as the request of Pegu commissioner.
After the abdication of King Thibaw in 1885, since there were no main contributors, members of Indrāvudha court drama were in disorder. However, thanks to the wife of Taunggwin mayor, the Indrāvudha team not only was still convenient but were performed at the ceremonies held in Mandalay.
Eight years after the abdication of King Thibaw, Yindaw Ma Lay went blind one eye. Yindaw Ma Lay remained poorly at her age of 60 -70. Although getting her age, as she was a renowned dancer, Yindaw Ma Lay had participated in some local dance troupe.[9]Whenever she sung from her time of glory to becoming lower status, all the audience felt sad for her.[10]
