King Badon shifted his royal capital form Yadanapura Inwa to Amarapura for the sake of Buddhism as a priority. Taungthaman area is also included in the Buddhism flourished area of the royal capital, Amarapura. Large and magnificent Pagodas and monasteries are found in Taungthaman. In Taungthaman village, there were many learner monks who were patronized by the king and that Buddhism also flourished. It can be found that there also were many monasteries and vipasana cloisters of those monks teaching dhamma and literature. At the end of Myanmar monarchial rule, Buddhism faded in Taungthama area.
