Sambodhi Chaithya: the flying stupa 🇱🇰

#cityscape Sambodhi Chaithya, a striking stupa located in Colombo, Sri Lanka, stands as a symbol of peace and enlightenment. Situated on a platform elevated above the harbor, this iconic white structure was designed by renowned architect A. N. S. Kulasinghe and completed in 1956. The stupa's unique feature is the 11-story flight of steps that leads visitors to its base, offering panoramic views of the city and the sea. Sambodhi Chaithya was constructed to commemorate the Buddha's attainment of enlightenment and serves as a significant place of worship and reflection for Buddhists. The stupa houses sacred relics and is adorned with intricate carvings and statues that depict various aspects of Buddhist teachings. Its serene atmosphere and breathtaking surroundings make it a popular destination for both pilgrims and tourists.
