Shingon (nat)

For the Japanese Buddhist school, see Shingon Buddhism.

Shingon (Burmese: ရှင်ကုန်း, pronounced [ʃɪ̀ɴ ɡóuɴ]; lit. Lady Humpback) is one of 37 nats in the official Burmese pantheon of nats. She was a maid of King Thihathu and accompanied him to the battlefront. She died on her return to the capital Ava (Inwa). She is portrayed walking limply with her hands dangling.^[1]
