Sri Ksetra kingdom

Sri Ksetra (Śrī Kṣetra, Burmese: သရေခေတ္တရာ ပြည်, Burmese pronunciation: [θəjè kʰɪʔtəjà pjì]; Sanskrit: श्री क्षेत्र, lit. 'Field of Fortune' or 'Field of Glory'), located along the Irrawaddy River at present-day Hmawza, Myanmar, was once a prominent Pyu settlement. The Pyu occupied several sites across Upper Myanmar, with Sri Ksetra recorded as the largest, the city wall enclosing an area of 1,477 hectares, although a recent survey found it enclosed 1,857 hectares within its monumental brick walls, with an extramural area of a similar size, being the largest Southeast Asian city before Angkor times.
