Buddhist Image House
This is an Image House, with a vaulted roof constructed in brick. The walls of this building are approximately 7’ in thickness.
Almost the whole buiding as survived over 900 years miraculously. The roof is a semi-cylindrical in shape. The original name of this image house is not known; therefore the builder of this is also unknown. It is thought that this was built by a minister of King Parakramabahu (1153-1186) called Mahinda to house the tooth relic. Another belief is that this was built by king Vijayabahu I (1070-1110).
