The Dambakola Patuna, is a very significant Buddhist religious destination tied to a legend as of Indian emperor, Ashoka’s daughter, Sanghamitta arriving at this place with the Bo tree sapling. The sapling grew to become the Sri Maha Bodhi, recorded as one of the oldest planted trees on Earth which is now known as Sri maha bhodhi in the city of Anuradhapura.To commemorate this event, King Devanampiya Tissa built this temple.

If you do visit, you’ll also be treated to a panoramic view of the Southern Indian coastline and gorgeous blue waters
