Cultural Heritage
The planting of the Jaya Sri Maha Bodhi in 288 BCE by Sanghamitta marked not merely the introduction of a sacred sapling but the foundational moment for the establishment of state-sponsored Buddhism in Lanka. King Devanampiya Tissa, contemporary to Emperor Ashoka, immediately integrated the tree into the royal patronage system, dedicating the expansive Mahamevnawa Park for the Mahavihara monastery, which quickly became the orthodox center of Theravada Buddhism. This act cemented the tree's status as a living symbol of the Buddha's presence and, crucially, as a legitimizing emblem for the Anuradhapura kingdom, intertwining spiritual authority with temporal power from its very inception. Throughout subsequent centuries, the protection of the Sri Maha Bodhi became a paramount duty for successive Sinhalese monarchs, reflecting its profound historical and political significance. Kings like Vasabha in the 1st century CE initiated the construction of protective walls, while later rulers, including Sena II and Kirti Sri Rajasinghe, undertook extensive repairs and enhancements, such as the erection of a golden fence. This continuous royal guardianship ensured the tree's survival through periods of foreign invasion and political upheaval, notably during the Chola incursions, solidifying its role as an unyielding beacon of faith and a testament to the enduring resilience of Buddhist civilization in Sri Lanka.
