Somawathiya Chaitya
The Somawathiya Chaitya〔(Hundreds and thousands of devotes participate in Hiru Shraddhabhi Vandana at Somawathiya sacred premises )〕 is a Buddhist Stupa situated in the ancient city of Polonnaruwa, Sri Lanka. Chaitya premises is called the Somawathiya Rajamaha Viharaya.〔(Miraculous Somawathi Chaitya )〕〔(President opens access road to Somawathiya )〕
The Somawathiya Chaitya〔(Access road to Somawathiya redone )〕 is located within the Somawathiya National Park〔(Chandrasena passes the buck Clearing of forest for banana growing )〕 on the left bank of the Mahaweli River,〔(President participates in religious functions at Somawathiya temple, Agbopura Rajamaha Viharaya )〕 and is believed to have been built long before the time of Dutugamunu enshrining the right canine Relic of the tooth of the Buddha. It is attributed to the reign of King Kavan Tissa - Dutugemunu’s father - who ruled Magama. Somawathiya is therefore much older than Ruwanwelisaya, Mirisawetiya Vihara or Jetavanaramaya.
The stupa is named after Princess Somawathi, the sister of King Kavantissa, and the wife of regional ruler Prince Abhaya. The prince built the stupa to enshrine the right tooth relic of the Buddha, obtained from Arahat Mahinda, and named the stupa after the princess. Upon completion of the stupa and other constructions, the prince and princess handed over the temple to Arahat Mahinda and other monks.
