Cape Negrais

Cape Negrais (Burmese: နဂရစ်အငူ, also known as Pagoda Point or Mawtin Point is a cape in Burma, west of the Irrawaddy Delta. It is located 133 km to the NNE of Preparis Island and 193 kilometres from the nearest point in the Indian union territory of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. For a long time, it was occupied by the Kingdom of Mrauk U. It was a battleground in the Taungoo–Mrauk-U War of 1545 to 1547. Most of English traders were massacred in October 1759.

Etymology
The Portuguese name 'Negrais' is borrowed from the Burmese name 'Nagariz' (နဂရစ်), which in turn came from 'Nagaraj' (Sanskrit: नागराज, ). It refers to the story of the dragon king 'Jeyasena'(ဇေယျသေန) taking some holy hairs of Buddha and creating a cape Pagoda. ==See also==
