| Thuparama Stupa 3rd century BC | |
Thuparamaya is the oldest dageba in Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka. It is a Buddhist sacred place of veneration. It was constructed by Devanampiya Tissa in the 3rd century BC and is said to contain the right collarbone of the Buddha. Its ‘heap-of-paddy-rice’ shape was restored in 1862 in a more conventional bell shape and to a height of 19m. |
