A small, perfect white dome on the upper terrace, surrounded by a colonnade of stone pillars (the bases of which once supported a wooden roof). The dagaba itself is modest — perhaps four metres tall — but the place is the spiritual heart of Mihintale. Pilgrims circle it clockwise, leaving offerings of white frangipani flowers. The view across to the larger Maha Seya and the Aradhana Gala rock is exceptional.
Shoes off at the entrance to the terrace.
