Ruwanwelisaya Anuradhapura Srilanka.
The Ruwanwelisaya is a stupa, a hemispherical structure containing relics, in srilanka, considered sacred to many Buddhist all over the world. It was built by king Dutugamunu c. 140 B.C., who became King of all Sri Lanka after a war in which the chola King elara, was defeated. It is also known as “Mahathupa”, “Swarnamali Chaitya”, “Suvarnamali Mahaceti” and “Rathnamali Dagaba”.
This is one of the “solosmasthana” (the 16 places of veneration) and the “atamasthana” (the 8 places of veneration in the ancient sacred city of Anuradhapura). The stupa is one of the world’s tallest ancient monuments, standing at 103 m (338 ft) and with a circumference of 290 m (951 ft). The original stupa had been about 55 m (180 ft) in height and was renovated by many kings.
The stupa was a ruin in the 19th century. After fundraising efforts by a Sinhalese bhikku, it was renovated in the early 20th century.The Ruwanveli Seya Restoration Society was founded in 1902 and the final crowning of the stupa took place on 17 June 1940.
