The '''Suva-Kaita''' was a shrine located at the [[Kini-Nui]] temple on the island of [[Mata Nui (Location)|Mata Nui]].

The Suva-Kaita was built by the [[Turaga]] after the [[Matoran]] were awakened from hibernation in the [[Matoran Sphere]]s. Underneath the [[Suva]] was a long vertical passageway that provided access to the interior of the [[Matoran Universe]]. When [[Makuta (Species)|Makuta]] [[Teridax]] had constructed his [[Mangaia]] lair, he had inadvertently situated it next to the Kini-Nui mechanism. As such, Mangaia was accessible through the Suva-Kaita passageway.

The aboveground area was surrounded by life-size statues of the [[Toa Mata]], which could be activated to retrieve the [[Golden Kanohi]]. The Turaga had also installed a system which could be unlocked using the [[Makoki Stone]] to open the Suva-Kaita passageway.

When the Toa Mata had collected all of the [[Kanohi]] and were ready to [[Battle of Mangaia|challenge]] Teridax, they journeyed to the Kini-Nui. The {{G|1|Toa}} approached the Suva-Kaita and received their Golden Kanohi and six pieces of the Makoki Stone. Using the Stones, the Toa Mata opened the passageway and gained access to Mangaia. The [[Chronicler's Company]] was left to [[Battle for Kini-Nui|defend the temple]], so that [[Infected Kanohi|infected]] [[Rahi]] could not threaten the Toa on their return through the Suva-Kaita.

When the [[Rahkshi]] were released by Teridax, they emerged on Mata Nui from the Suva-Kaita, destroying it in the process. The passageway was later used by Toa [[Takanuva]] to travel to Mangaia, using the [[Ussanui]] vehicle.

The remains of the Suva-Kaita were cleared by the re-awakened [[Bohrok]] swarms.
