Brilliance of
Ancient “Sri Lankan”
Stupas
“ Sri Lanka has a great civilization
that has been inherited from a
proud historical records of over
2500 years.
We can witness some significant
monuments which have been built
by our ancestors throughout this
period. Stupas are structures that
are made in honor of Lord Buddha.
They have always been a major part
of the typical Sri Lankan Buddhist
temples. Sacred relics of Buddha or
other sacred things are kept inside
the stupa.
