The up thrust millions of years ago has caused several peneplains to form, the highest being well over 6000 ft.

AMBASTHALA DAGABA

              AMBASTHALA DAGABA

Mihintale is a mountain peak located 13 kilometres east of Anuradhapura. It is the cradle of Buddhism in Sri Lanka. It is believed to be the place where the Buddhist monk Mahinda met King Devanampiya Tissa and started introducing Buddhism in Sri Lanka. Mihintale contains now several religious monuments. It is a pilgrimage site.   
                      

The Ambasthala Dagoba, or the Mango Tree Stupa, marks the spot where Mahinda surprised King Devanampiyatissa in mid-hunt and quizzed him about mango trees, to test his intelligence.   

Ambasthala Dagoba is supposedly built on the exact spot where Mahinda stood. The statue of King Devanampiyatissa is placed where he stood, a short distance away. Mahinda preached his first sermon at Aradhana Gala near here.
