Lankarama Dagoba, Anuradhapura Overview

Lankarama Dagoba is a stupa built by King Vattagamini Abhaya in about the 1st century BC. One of the sacred Buddhist sites of Anuradhapura, it is ringed by the ruins of concentric rows of stone pillars that once supported a roof over the stupa. Close by is the vast ancient reservoir known as Eth Pokuna, or 'elephant pond', cut to supply the surrounding monastery.

You can also visit the ancient man-made pond called Eth pond or ‘elephant pond' in the vicinity. 
Anuradhapura is located 200 km away from Colombo and its easily connected by bus, train, and taxi.
