Thanthirimale (also spelled as Tantirimale) is an old village in the Anuradhapura District of Sri Lanka. The village is known for the Ancient and Historic Buddhist Temple Thanthirimale Raja Maha Vihara, situated in a nearby rock covered area of approximately 250 acres. • Built in the 3rd Century BC and used by King Devanampiyatissa as a one-day stop to Arahanth Theri Sangamitta on her way to Anuradhapura, Thanthirimale Rajamaha Viharaya seems to have developed from a small temple to a large monastery by the end of the Anuradhapura Period. • Thanthirimale was not Thanthirimale at the beginning. The area was first civilized by a minister of King Vijaya called Upatissa, who chose this ground surrounded by Malwathu Oya and Kanadara Oya by three sides to build his future town then named Upastissa Grama. • When King Devanampiyatissa first visited the temple in Thanthirimale, it was known by another name – Thivanka Bamunu-Gama. It was confirmed by a rock inscription near the ancient Bodhi tree at sight, which states that one of the first eight offshoots of Jaya Sri Maha Bodhi was planted at Thivanka Bamunu-Gama. • Although the name suggests, the village was the home to a Brahmin called Thivanka, archaeologists have a different theory on it. They suggest that it was called Thivanka since it was a Brahmin village surrounded by three curves of the Malwathu Oya. • The most beautiful sights at Tanthirimale are the Samadhi and Reclining Buddha Statues carved from the large rocks. • It is believed as per rocky inscriptions found in the site that the civilization of Thanthirimale dates back approximately 4000 years. Also in the premises is a Primary Art Cave dates back to 6th Century BC. • Sources: Wikipedia Amazing Lanka • ***This video is protected by YouTube and International Copyright Laws.

I’ve spent so much of time/money bringing this to you so that you may enjoy it. • I also have a very kind and humble request to make. Should you ever visit this place, you’re kindly requested to adhere to the following in order to save our Mother Nature not only for the future generations but for the current one as well: • Avoid careless/irresponsible/money-oriented/mega tour groups or organizers. • Travel in small groups as Mother Nature can’t afford so many footprints at once. Stick to the designated trails or hardback surfaces at all times. • Minimize the use of polythene/plastic and do bring them back. Please don’t burn them in the wilderness. Even organic/bio-degradable waste is harmful to the nature and animals. Please stick to the simple rule of “if you pack it in, pack it out”. • Use reusable water bottles, plates and cups. Even paper cups/plates are harmful and take years to decompose. • Remain quiet and vigilant. Don’t disturb the tranquility of the nature. Respect wildlife and don’t disturb them in anyway. Also be considerate of other trekkers. • Please collect and bring any litter/garbage left behind by other careless travelers. • Don’t light fires unnecessarily and do try to use portable cookers instead of using firewood when camping. If you must, only use firewood on the ground and don’t cut any trees for this. • Don’t bring any plants back with you or cut any trees/branches unnecessarily.. • Don’t use soap/ shampoo when bathing in natural streams as they contaminate them and kill wildlife. • Don’t do anything that harms the Mother Nature. • Facebook - Waterfall Hunter • / srilankanwaterfallhunter • Facebook - National Parks • / nationalparksofsrilanka • YouTube • / sriabeywickrema • Instagram • / sriabeywickrema • Flickr • https://www.flickr.com/people/2307828... • G+ • https://plus.google.com/u/0/+SriAbeyw... • Blog - Trek with Sri... • https://trekwithsri.blogspot.com/ • #SriAbeywickrema #TrekwithSri #ArchaeologyofSriLanka
