    Always a great place to visit if you're spirutual. A must visit place for all the buddhist around the world. Always good to visit early mornings or evenings and avoid the sun. Also be mindful of the clothes as no shorts or sleeveless allowed anywhere in any religious places.

    This Dagaba was built by King Dutugemunu. This is his last Dagaba. A large number of devotees visit this place of worship. It is located at a distance of about 200 km from Colombo.King Dutugemunu died before the completion of this dagaba. The rest of the remains were done by the king's brother. Ruwanweli Seya is one of the most important religious sites in Anuradhapura.

    The Ruwanwelisaya is a stupa and a hemispherical structure containing relics, in Sri Lanka, considered sacred to many Buddhists all over the world.[1] It was built by King Dutugemunu[2] c. 140 B.C., who became King of all Sri Lanka after a war in which the Chola King Elāra (Ellalan) was defeated. It is also known as "Mahathupa", "Swarnamali Chaitya", "Suvarnamali Mahaceti" (in Pali) and "Rathnamali Dagaba". Two quarts or one Drona of the Gothama Buddha's relics are enshrined in the stupa, which is the largest collection of his relics anywhere. 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.[3]The Kaunghmudaw Pagoda in Sagaing, Myanmar is modelled after this stupa.[4] The Mahavamsa contains a detailed account on the construction and the opening ceremony of the stupa. The stupa was a ruin in the 19th century. After fundraising efforts by a Sinhalese bhikkhu, it was renovated in the early 20th century.[5] The Ruwanveli Seya Restoration Society was founded in 1902 and the final crowning of the stupa took place on 17 June 1940.[5]
