Bubble- shaped dagoba. The Kiri Vehera, which is part of the Alahena Pirivena complex, is a large bubble- shaped dagoba. It is believed to have been built by King Parakramabahu to commemorate one of his queens, Subhadda. Some believe the dagoba was actually built by this queen. It was originally known as Rupavati Cetiya, which has led some to believe that it was built by a queen of Parakramabahu called Rupavati.
This is the best preserved dagoba in polonnaruwa. The original lime plaster of the dagoba was found to be in perfect condition when the overgrown jungle around it was cleared away after 700 years of neglect. The image house of the dagoba is clustered around the base. Trackback(0)
