Thuparamaya (Pass by)

The stupa is believed to enshrine the right collarbone relic of the Buddha, making it a highly revered pilgrimage site. Thuparamaya is notable for its distinctive circular design and the stone pillars (vatadage remains) that surround it, which once supported a protective roof structure. Today, it stands as an important symbol of Sri Lanka’s ancient Buddhist heritage and architectural history.
