As history said, Gautham buddha visited Srilanka thrice. Muthiyangana raja maha viharaya which is situated in Badulla town is one place Lord Buddha visited.
At the end of sermons made by Buddha there, Indaka had wanted something to worship in memory of Buddha's visit. The Buddha is said to have given him a few of his hairs and a few drops of sweat that turned into pearls . Indaka had enshrined these sacred hair and pearls in a stupa.
People believed Muthiyangana raja maha viharaya was that Stupa.
We visited there while we come back from the Ella.
This sacred place more important because of 28 bodhis. (Bo Trees)
In present we were worshiped 'asathu Bodhiya.' We simply called it 'Bo tree or Bodhi).
