The Jetavanaramaya is a stupa monument, or Buddhist reliquary, located in the ruins of the Jetavana Monastery in the World Heritage city of Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka. At 122 meters, it was the largest stupa in the world [1] and the third tallest structure in the world [2] when it was built by King Mahasena of Anuradhapura 273-301. He initiated the construction of the stupa after the destruction of Mahavihara. His son Maghavanna I finished building the stupa. [3] It is believed that part of a belt or belt attached by the Buddha is the relic that is enshrined here.
