Thuparamaya is an ancient Buddhist temple located in Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka. It is considered to be the first dagoba (stupa) built in the country after the introduction of Buddhism. Constructed during the reign of King Devanampiya Tissa in the 3rd century BCE, Thuparamaya enshrines the right collarbone of the Buddha, making it a highly significant site for Buddhists. The stupa has undergone several restorations over the centuries, yet it retains its historical and spiritual importance.
