Ruwanwelisaya is a stupa and a hemispherical structure containing relics, in Sri Lanka, considered sacred to many Buddhists all over the world.[1] 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.[2] It was built by King Dutugemunu[3] c. 140 B.C., who became King of all Sri Lanka after a war in which the Chola King El̢̮â¬Å¾ÃâÃÂra Ellalan was defeated. It is also known as `Mahathupa`, `Swarnamali Chaitya`, `Suvarnamali Mahaceti` in Pali and `Rathnamali Dagaba`. |
