Pinya (Burmese: ပင်းယ), or Vijayapura, was the capital of the Kingdom of Pinya, located near Ava, Mandalay Region, Myanmar. It was the residence of a dynasty of six kings who ruled this part of central Myanmar from 1313 to 1364.
History
Pinya was founded by King Thihathu on 11 February 1313 (15th waxing of Tabaung 674 ME), and it was the capital of Pinya Kingdom until September 1364.[1]:227 The Pinya Kingdom and its cross-river rival, the Sagaing Kingdom, founded in 1315, vied for supremacy in central Myanmar during that period. In 1364, both kingdoms were overrun by the invading Shan forces from China and they ceased to exist.[2] The Ava Kingdom rose to take their places.
