Mirisaweti Dagoba is cited in the ancient city of Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka. King Dutugemunu built the Mirisaweti Dagoba after defeating King Elara. Placing the Buddha relics in the sceptre, he had gone to Tisa Wewa for a bath leaving the sceptre. After the bath he returned to the place where the sceptre was placed, and it is said that it could not be moved. The Dagoba was built in the place where the sceptre stood and it is also said that he remembered that he partook a chilly curry without offering it to the Sangha. In order to punish himself he built the Mirisaweti Dagoba. The extent of this land is about 50 acres (20 ha). Although the king Kasyapa I and Kasyapa V renovated this, from time to time it was dilapidated. What stands today is the renovation done by the cultural Triangle Fund.
