Wikipedia description:

Minbya (Burmese: မင်းပြားမြို့, pronounced [mɪ́ɰ̃bjá mjo̰], also spelled Mongbra after the Arakanese pronunciation) is a town in Rakhine State, in the westernmost part of Myanmar (Burma). It is located along the Lemro River and foothill of Kyein Range. On 28 July 2026, the United League of Arakan renamed the town to Anjanapura (Rakhine: အဉ္ဇနပူရ), meaning "city of Añjanā" in Pali.
