Nainativu Nagadeepa Vihara

This temple, located in the Nainativu Island, is one of 16 hallowed by visits of the Buddha places of veneration in Sri Lanka.

Purana Vihara were constructed by the two warring Naga kings, Mahodara and his nephew Chulodara, at the site where Lord Buddha during his second visit to Lanka - five years after attaining Enlightenment - intervened and mediated in settling a dispute over the possession of a gem-studded throne; This precious throne which was offered to the Buddha, was returned by him to the Naga Kings and was later enshrined in stupa located next to the temple.
