EDITORS COMMENTS
Rankoth Vehera Stupa, also known as the Golden Pinnacle Stupa, is a historical and religious site of great significance in Sri Lanka. This magnificent structure, which is the 4th largest stupa in the country, was built during the reign of King Nissanka Malla (1187-1196). Measuring 55 meters in height and 185 meters in circumference, the stupa is a testament to the rich cultural heritage and architectural prowess of ancient Sri Lanka. The Rankoth Vehera Stupa, located in the ancient city of Polonnaruwa, is a golden structure that shines brightly against the lush green backdrop of the surrounding countryside. The name "Golden Pinnacle" refers to the golden pinnacle that adorns the top of the stupa, which is believed to house relics of the Buddha. Despite the passage of time, the stupa remains an important ceremonial site for Buddhists in Sri Lanka. The ruins of the ancient city of Polonnaruwa, of which the stupa is a part, are overgrown with vegetation, adding to the mystical and otherworldly atmosphere of the place. The Rankoth Vehera Stupa is a reminder of the rich history and traditions of Sri Lanka, a country that has been shaped by the influences of various civilizations over the centuries. The stupa's intricate design, with its terraces, railings, and intricate carvings, is a reflection of the artistic and architectural achievements of the ancient Sinhalese civilization. In this photo print, the Rankoth Vehera Stupa stands proudly against the backdrop of the overgrown ruins of Polonnaruwa, a reminder of the past glory and the enduring spiritual significance of this ancient site.
