These photos were taken at the Sandagiri Stupa which forms part of an ancient Buddhist Monastic complex in Tissamaharama (Southern Sri Lanka). It is believed that the Sandagiri Stupa was built in the 3rd century BCE by king Mahanaga. The archaeological site includes various other structures such as the Uposatha-Ghara, Bodhi-Ghara, and Jantha-Ghara. The Stupa also finds mention in the Mahamvasa chronicles.
