The central edifice in the quadrangle is one of the most exquisite examples of Buddhist architecture. The circular relic house surrounded a stupa (Dome shape monument) which enshrines the relic of Buddha. Five concentric rows of columns once supported a heavy wooden roof, no more now. There are four Buddha’s seated statues place outwards with their back to the stupa facilitating the devotees to worship. The best moonstones (the door step made out of granite with decorated carvings) and the guard stones find in Polonnaruwa we can see here.
