Thuparamaya Stupa is one of the oldest and most revered Buddhist stupas in Sri Lanka, located in the ancient city of Anuradhapura. Believed to be the first stupa constructed in Sri Lanka after the introduction of Buddhism in the 3rd century BCE, it holds a significant place in the island’s Buddhist history. The stupa is said to house the right collarbone relic of the Buddha, making it an important pilgrimage site for Buddhists.

The stupa’s design follows traditional Sri Lankan architecture, with a large dome-shaped structure symbolizing the universe. It is surrounded by stone pillars, and the site also includes several smaller shrines and relic chambers. Over the centuries, Thuparamaya has undergone restoration work, preserving its historical and religious significance.

Visitors to Thuparamaya can explore the serene surroundings and reflect on its deep cultural and spiritual heritage. The stupa’s location within the Anuradhapura Archaeological Complex allows tourists to connect with the rich history of Sri Lanka's ancient civilization while paying homage to the relics it houses.

The best time to visit Thuparamaya Stupa is during the dry season, from December to April, when the weather is ideal for exploring the ancient ruins and monuments of Anuradhapura. The stupa is easily accessible from the city and is a must-visit site for those interested in Sri Lanka's Buddhist heritage.
