Waithali (Burmese: ဝေသာလီမြို့, pronounced[wèθàlìmjo̰], Pali: Vesālī) located in today's northern Rakhine State, Myanmar, was the capital of the Waithali Kingdom from 370 to 818.[1] The former capital site is approximately 70 kilometres (43 mi) north-east of Sittwe, and east of Ram Chaung, a tributary of the Kaladan river. Like much of northern Rakhine State, Waithali is in a hilly locale. Like its predecessor, Dhanyawadi, the former capital site has fallen into ruin and much of it is now deserted. Only a few temples and traces of the old city wall remain. The site is about an hour's bus ride from Mrauk U.
