Cultural Heritage
The establishment of Anuradhapura as a pivotal center of Indic civilization was profoundly shaped by its direct connection with the Mauryan Empire in the 3rd century BCE. King Devanampiya Tissa's reign witnessed the arrival of Mahinda Thera, Emperor Ashoka's son, who introduced the tenets of Buddhism to the island. This epochal event not only transformed the spiritual landscape but also fostered a unique Indo-Lankan cultural synthesis, laying the foundation for a distinct Sinhala Buddhist identity. The planting of the Jaya Sri Maha Bodhi sapling, an offshoot of the sacred Bodhi tree at Bodh Gaya, further solidified this spiritual lineage, marking Anuradhapura as a primary axis for the transmission of Dhamma beyond the subcontinent. Subsequent centuries saw Anuradhapura flourish under powerful monarchs like King Dutugemunu in the 2nd century BCE, whose monumental construction of the Ruwanwelisaya stupa symbolized the architectural and engineering prowess of the era. This period also saw the development of an unparalleled hydraulic civilization, with vast reservoirs like Tissa Wewa and Basawakkulama Wewa meticulously engineered to sustain a large urban population and extensive monastic complexes. The city's eventual decline as the capital, around the 10th-11th centuries CE, was precipitated by persistent invasions from South Indian Chola dynasties and internal political instability, leading to the shift of the political center and marking the end of its long reign as the island's primary seat of power.
