The ancient Tantirimale Monastery is situated 41 kilometres off Anuradhapura and has a large number of ruins spread over the vast temple compound. This rock temple with reclining and seated Buddha statues was built in the third century BC. It is believed that Arahath Sanghamitta Theri had also rested at Tantirimale on her way to Anuradhapura with the sacred Bo sapling.
