’Sandahiru Seya’ in Anuradhapura vested with the Nation
The 'Sandahiru Seya' in Anuradhapura was declared open today and vested with the nation by President Gotabaya Rajapaksa and Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa. The sacred site will be open for public access from today onwards.
The Defence Ministry oversaw the construction of the site which consist of Bo-Tree House (Bodhigaraya), Dolos Mahe Pahana (the lamp which lights throughout the 12 months of the year), a land area earmarked for devotees’ vehicle park, landscaping arrangement at the entryway, the balance work of shrine hall and the proposed museum.
Sandahiru Seya erection was initiated under the patronage of the former President Mahinda Rajapaksa in appreciation of the noble services rendered by the Security Forces and the Police to eliminate the three-decade-long ruthless terrorism from the country.
This stupa is considered one of the largest pagodas on the island within the 16 places of veneration. The mega construction undertaken by the Tri-Forces is 282 feet in height with a circumference of 801 feet. (Pixs- Prime Minister Media Unit)
