EDITORS COMMENTS
1. "A Glorious Testament to Ancient Sri Lankan History: The Ruwanwelisaya Stupa The Ruwanwelisaya Stupa, a magnificent architectural marvel and a sacred Buddhist monument, stands proudly in Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka. This historic site, also known as Mahathupa, Swarnamali Chaitya, and Rathnamali Dagaba, was built by the legendary King Dutugemunu in the 2nd century BC. The stupa, a significant remnant of the ancient Sinhalese civilization, is a must-visit for anyone interested in history, culture, and spirituality. King Dutugemunu, a renowned warrior-king, is said to have commissioned the construction of the Ruwanwelisaya Stupa to house the sacred relic of the Buddha's right collarbone, which he had obtained from India. The stupa's name, Ruwanwelisaya, translates to 'the stupa built by King Dutugemunu.' The monument, now completely restored and painted white, is an awe-inspiring sight. It is believed to be the first stupa in Sri Lanka to be built entirely of bricks, with no mortar used in its construction. The intricate design, featuring a series of terraces and a tall, tapering dome, is a testament to the advanced engineering skills of the ancient Sinhalese people. The stupa is surrounded by numerous other historical remains, including ancient statues, ruins of temples, and other structures. The site is a popular pilgrimage destination for Buddhists from around the world, who come to pay homage to the sacred relic and seek blessings. The Ruwanwelisaya Stupa is not just a historical monument; it is a living symbol of the rich cultural heritage of Sri Lanka and a reminder of the country's glorious past. A visit to this magnificent structure is a humbling experience, leaving one with a deep sense of awe and reverence for the ancient civilization that built it.
