Attanagalla Rajamaha Viharaya is one of the most famous ancient royal temples in Sri Lanka. It is unique because it is the only ancient temple historically recognized as the place where a Bodhisattva (a future Buddha) fulfilled his Dana Paramita (one of the ten perfections to be completed by a Bodhisattva to become a Buddha). He sacrificed his life by giving his head in gratitude for a favor he received from a poor and ordinary countryman
