text: Andaw Thein is a Buddhist temple in Mrauk U located at the northwest corner of the Shite-thaung Temple. The name means 'Tooth Shrine'.

It was later expanded into a temple by King Raza II in order to house a tooth relic of the Buddha he brought back from his pilgrimage to Ceylon, either in 1596 or 1606–1
