Neelagiri Maha Seya

released under creative common licence by Saliya Wijesinghe

Neelagiri Maha Seya is the largest Buddhist Stupa in the Eastern Province. The stupa, located in the Lahugala Forest Reserve has been neglected for over 30 years due to the LTTE Terrorist activities in the area. The stupa is said to be build by King Kawantissa (3rd Centaury BC). The Archeological Department has taken steps to conserve this stupa in 2011.
