History of Taung Byone Nat
If we go back to the time of King Anawrahta, Bagan kingdom, 11th century, King Anawhta, adopted two brothers who were sons of Mr.Byatta and Me Wanna (guardian spirit of Mt. Popa at). Two brothers were brave, great fighters became King’s favorite soldiers. In the year 1057, King marched to China (Nancho province). After his conquest, in 1058 back to Bagan along Ayeyarwaddy River. Upon arrival to Taung Byone village, he decided to build a temple. His order was everybody in his traveling group had to participate labour bringing a brick and a basket of sand for the construction of the temple. Two brothers forgot to participate their labour. End of the work, the king made a visit to the temple and saw two bricks are missing by the key stone of the porch. The king got anger and ordered to give punishment. Instead of giving punishment, jealous ministers killed two brothers. Because of violence death, two brothers couldn’t reincarnate better existence and we believed that they became Nat.
The king ordered two nat brothers can be received worship from villagers and made nat shrine for them which is not far from the temple. Villagers celebrate annual pagoda festival on full moon of Wakhaung, meantime celebrate Nat festival for two brothers.

Taung To is one of the village on the eastern bank of Inlay lake. It may take about one and half hour drive (by boat) from Nyaung Shwe. It is very nice place. As it is far from Nyaung Shwe, even it's market day (every five days market) is beautiful, travelers do not use to add Taung To on their visiting list.
If there is every five days market at Taung To village, your plan is to Sam Kar and Tha Khaung, may I recommend to visit Taung To market. After passing colorful mountain tribe market, the narrow path will bring you to the group Taung To pagodas.
