Next to the Lankatilaka is the Kiri Vihara the best preserved of Polonnaruwa's stupas. Aptly this large Dagoba’s whitewashed plaster has survived seven centuries of abandonment to the jungle between the collapse of the Polonnaruwa kingdom and its rediscovery in the 19th century by the British. This was constructed by Subadra, Parakramabahu’s queen.
