Maha Thupa (Great Stupa)








Third largest dagoba in Anaradhapura, at 55m, shaped in the form of a hemisphere. Prayer flags, each one with someone's blessing/prayer. Grey langur monkeys inhabit the grasslands all around the dagoba, harassing tourists for food. Also, we met other pilgrims, all 9 (including driver) fit into a three-wheeler. They wanted our autographs, as Westerners, so we exchanged addresses.
