Main entrance to the Jethawanaramaya, Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka - highest dagaba in Sri Lanka and built in 3rd centaury A.D., by king Mahasen (Mahasena). Originally it was about 400 feet high. It is situated in Nandana Uyana (garden). There are several opinions to the creation of the Name Jethawanaramaya and one of them is that a part of the robe wore by Lord Buddha is kept inside the dagaba as a relic. The dagaba is being reconstructed under the Cultural Triangle Project.
