Описание: Sandahiru Seya is the second largest hemispherical stupa in Sri Lanka located in Anuradhapura.

The stupa was built under the guidance of the then Defence Secretary and the current President Gotabaya Rajapaksa according to a concept by the Fifth Executive President, the current Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa, to commemorate the war heroes who sacrificed their lives for the unity of the motherland, to invoke blessings on the disabled war heroes and to mark the end of the Thirty Years’ War. The Tri-Forces, the Police, the Civil Defence Force, clergy and the common people made financial donations as well as labour.

This is the largest dagoba built in Sri Lanka after the construction of the Jethavanaramaya in Anuradhapura by King Mahasen in AD 301. The pagoda’s structural completion was carried out with the support of hundreds of Army, Navy, Air Force, Police and Civil Security Department personnel of respective security establishments. The stupa is 86.1 m (282.5 ft) high and 240 metres (800 ft) in circumference. Stupa houses the sacred relics including the Kapilavastu relics. The height of the Crest Gem placed in the dagoba is 1.1 m (3.5 ft). There are 1895 gemstones, inlaid with gold as well as pearls.
