An archaeological site with a long history dated back to the 03rd century. The most prominent factor is the place has been visited by the Lord Buddha himself. Remaining of the ancient stupa is available in the site which is the only visible remaining of the ancient time. There are other temple buildings but built in the modern-day. Near the parking area, there are few toy, hats and snack stalls. Hats, scarfs and water are must due to the hot climate. The orange juice sells at stalls is a definite thirst quencher. Might be boring if you are not a fan of archaeological sites. Need to dress appropriately for a temple.

Very calm and quiet temple. Legend says that King Kavan Tissa who ruled Anuradhapura married princess Viharamaha Devi at this place.
