ANURADHAPURA RUWANVELISEYA

ANURADHAPURA RUWANVELISEYA

Every monastery has a dagoba. Ruvanveliseya is the dagoba of Maha Vihara. It was built by a Sinhalese hero King Dutugemunu (161 -137 BC) in the 2nd century B.C on vesak day. The stupa is one of the world's tallest monuments, standing at 300 feet (91 m) and with a circumference of 950 ft (290 m) .The foundation was dug to a depth of 15 feet and round stones were laid, stumped into place by elephants wearing leather foot coverings. A form of material called butter clay was used as the cement. The architect ingeniously combined the Buddhist philosophy in the architectural conception. He conceived this as a bubble of milk: representing life, which will burst in no time just like the fragility of our lives. Its dome represents the vastness of the doctrine the four facets of the box oh top represents the four noble truths. The concentric rings there after indicate the noble eightfold path that leads man to illumination the illumination: the whole truth is light and transparent like the rock crystal at the pinnacle. The 1956's restoration curb on the dome is much to the chagrin of which looks flatter than bubbly.
