In the ancient history of Arakan, King Anawratha of Pagan (r. 1044–1077) attempted to move the image to Pagan, without success. In 1784, the Burmese under the military leadership of Crown Prince Thado Minsaw of Konbaung dynasty conquered the Kingdom of Mrauk U. The religious relics of the kingdom, including the Mahamuni Buddha image, were confiscated and installed in the Mahamuni temple or Pagoda at Amarapura, on the outskirts of the old capital of Mandalay. As the Mahamuni image was too large to transport as a whole, it was cut into sections and later reassembled and housed in the new temple.Mandalay became the capital under King Mindon (r. 1853–1878). It was also the capital under his son Thibaw (r. 1878–1885) of the Konbaung Dynasty (1752–1885). When the British annexed Upper Burma in 1885 to prevent the French from dominating it, monarchic rule ended. However, veneration of the Mahamuni image has continued, and is visited and idolised by many pilgrims, mainly Rakhine, Mon and Burmans peoples. Khmer bronze at Mahamuni-mythical lion and a statue said to be of Shiva. Right:Khmer bronze at Mahamuni-Triple headed elephant also known as Airavata. Several old bronze statues that line the courtyard of the temple have a long history as war loot. They were originally Khmer statues, found at Angkor Wat in Cambodia, and were taken to Ayutthaya in 1431 by the Siamese. In 1564, the Burmese king Bayinnaung conquered Ayutthaya and took thirty such statues to Bago (Pegu). In 1599, King Razagri of Mrauk U invaded Bago and brought the statues to Mrauk U. Finally, Thado Minsaw took them to Amarapura in 1785. According to local belief, many more of these statues were brought from Arakan. However, King Thibaw melted many of them to cast cannons for fortification of his palace. Of the thirty statues Bayinnaung brought from Siam, only six remain today, and are displayed in the temple complex. They are a major attraction because of their purported healing qualities.

Dans l'enceinte du temple se trouvent plusieurs anciennes statues khmères de bronze, originaires d'Angkor Vat, et qui ont connu une histoire tumultueuse. Elles ont été ramenées à Ayutthaya en 1431 par les siamois au moment du sac d'Angkor. En 1564, le roi birman Bayinnaung attaqua Ayutthaya et il remporta trente statues à Pégou. En 1599, le roi Razagri de Mrauk U envahit Pégou et rapporta les statues dans sa capitale. Finalement le prince héritier Thado Minsaw, fils du roi Bodawpaya, les rapporta à Amarapura en 1785. Selon les croyances locales, beaucoup plus de statues avaient été ramenées d'Arakan.Le roi Thibaw en fit fondre un bon nombre pour couler des canons pour les fortifications de son palais. Des trente statues rapportées du Siam par Bayinnaung, il n'en reste que six, exposées dans le temple. Elles attirent beaucoup de monde, à cause des pouvoirs de guérison qui leur sont attribuées.
