Mintara Nat

Mintara (Burmese: မင်းတရား, IPA: [mɪ́ɴ təjá]) is the Burmese nat representation of King Tarabya of Ava. According to the legend, the king met a fairy in the forest, had sex with her, and went insane when the fairy disappeared.[1] While he was in this state, one of his followers, Nga Nauk Hsan, governor of Tagaung, murdered the king. He is portrayed sitting on a throne, wearing his royal garments with a fan in his right hand and his left hand resting on his knee.[2]
