The Pon Daw Pagoda (Burmese: ပုံတော်စေတီ) is a small pagoda in Mingun, Myanmar. Built in 1799,[1] the temple is a miniature version of the larger, incomplete Mingun Pahtodawgyi, which was abandoned due to cost overruns.[2] The Paw Daw Pagoda resembles what the Pahtodawgyi was intended to look like when it was complete.[2][3]
