The statue, which has a height of more than 40 feet, was carved out of a large granite rock face during the 5th century. It depicts a variation of the Abhaya mudra, and the closely worn robe is elaborately carved.
Ruwanweli Maha Seya is a towering stupa in Anuradhapura, built by King Dutugemunu in 140 BC. Revered as one of the most sacred Buddhist monuments, it enshrines the largest collection of Buddha’s relics and stands as a symbol of ancient Sinhalese architecture and spiritual devotion2.
The Sri Maha Bodhiya is the oldest historically documented tree in the world, grown from a sapling of the original Bodhi tree under which Buddha attained enlightenment. Planted in 288 BC, it is a sacred pilgrimage site and a cornerstone of Buddhist heritage in Sri Lanka.

The Jeep safari through Wilpattu National Park was a highlight, giving us a chance to spot wildlife in their natural habitat while navigating through stunning landscapes. Our visit to Anuradhapura offered a fascinating glimpse into Sri Lanka’s rich heritage, and the historical sites were impressive and well-preserved. One drawback was the long stretches of travel time between locations, which made the day feel a bit rushed at points, but overall, the experience was well worth it for anyone looking to explore the region beyond Sigiriya.
