  It's a very ancient creative. And I'm proud of as a Buddhist travelling this place.

  This is the whitest building I have seen since the Taj Mahal. This may not sound that impressive but it's 1 of those things no picture or description can really do justice. You just got to go see it and if you have a chance you should.

  The only "Kiri Wehera" in Sri Lanka. The stupa at Kataragama is supposed to be "Keeri Wehera". For some reason this stupa has been more preserved than the others.

  This has been built by a queen of king Parakramabahu (1153-1186) called “Subadra”. The original name of this has been “Rupavathi Stupa”. This too is a part of Ãlahana Privena and stands 80 feet in height today.

  This large stupa known as the Kiri Vehera of Polonnaruwa, lying north of Lankathilaka Pilima Ge is said to be built by a queen of king Parakramabahu (1153-1186) called “Subadra”. The original name of this has been “Rupavathi Stupa” and this too is a part of Ãlahana Privena and stands 80 feet in height today.
  
  This stupa is also the second biggest stupa in Polonnaruwa today. Also it is the only stupa to survive the 900 years of forces of nature and still is in the original condition.
  
  There are many restored smaller stupas around Kiri Vehera. These have been identified as burial chambers of high priests and royals. Many of these including Kiri Vehera stupa has been attacked by treasure hunters and their valuables looted.
  
  The two identical stupas south to the Lankathilaka is thought to be built upon remains of a king and a queen.
