The eight sacred sites

 

Although this site is meant to serve as the official site of the Mirisawetiya Stupa, we felt that we should provide the reader a reasonable (as detailed as the webteam can give )enough account of the other sacred sites too, namely the 8 sacred sites (Atamasthana) .

What the eight most sacred places are also was subject to debate sometime back . However , as it stands today, the sites are given below.Cick on the name for details.

We have covered Sri Maha Bodhi and Ruwanweliseya to great detail .

  1. Sri Maha Bodhi (The Sacred Bodhi Tree)
  2. Loha Prasada
  3. Ruwanweliseya
  4. Thuparamaya
  5. Mirisawetiya
  6. Abhayagiri Stupa
