Шаблон:Infobox person Amay Gyan (Шаблон:Lang-my; born Ma Chan-Tha, Шаблон:Lang) is a prominent Burmese nat (spiritual being). She is one of the five mother nats of Burma. The festival of Amay Gyan is held each year on the 13th and 14th waning days of the month of Nayon of the Burmese calendar (May or June), in Ayegyigon, Mandalay Region.[1]

Legend

Amay Gyan was born Chan-Tha to the chief of the Shwedaung village in present-day central Myanmar in c. mid-14th century. Her family reportedly disowned her for marrying Nga Tet Pya, whom her father deemed a dubious character and a drunkard. After the marriage, she, too, became addicted to toddy palm wine like her husband. One day, a drunken Chan-Tha argued with the guards at one of the gates of Ava, the capital. The argument quickly escalated into a physical altercation after she started cursing out at the guards. She was severely beaten up by the guards and died from the injuries. For her courage, she became a martyr to the local populace and later entered the pantheon of Burmese nats (spirits) as a nat named Amay Gyan ("Mother Gyan").[1]
