Another ancient Buddhist archeological place situated in the historic city of Anuradhapura. Built by King Dutugemunu (BC. 161 - 137). The reason behind this Stupa was the kings mourn due to consuming a chili-meal without offering to Sangha. Subsequently, king Gotabaya has expanded this Stupa further.

The Mirisaweti Stupa is a memorial building, a stupa, situated in the ancient city of Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka. King Dutugamunu (161 BC to 137 BC) built the Mirisaveti Stupa after defeating King Elara. After placing the Buddha relics in the sceptre, he had gone to Tissa Wewa for a bath leaving the sceptre. After the bath he returned to the place where the sceptre was placed, and it is said that it could not be moved. The stupa was built in the place where the sceptre stood. It is also said that he remembered that he partook a chilly curry without offering it to the sangha. In order to punish himself he built the Mirisavetiya Dagaba. The extent of this land is about 50 acres (20 ha). Although the king Kasyapa I and Kasyapa V renovated this, from time to time it was dilapidated.

This stupa is easily accessible from the central area of sacred city. It is generally not very crowded. Parking is easily available. The premises is now more organized and includes a terrace with a Bo tree.

Nice

The spot on which the stupa stands today is said to have been consecrated by the Buddhas visit. But, there is no information whatsoever regarding the object of veneration placed inside this stupa.

The Abhayagiri Viharaya was a major monastery site of Theravada Buddhism that is situated in Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka. It is one of the most sacred Buddhist pilgrimage cities in the nation and the world. Historically it was a great monastic center as well as a royal capital with magnificent monasteries rising to many stories, roofed with glitz bronze or tiles of burnt clay glazed in brilliant colors.

In the reign of King Mahasen, the growth of Abhayagiri reached its height and was the center of Mahayana Buddhism. Buddhist structures found in the vicinity of Abhayagri suggest that this complex was an important local and foreign educational institution.
