Der Mihinda Maha Stupa befindet sich im antiken Komplex von Mihintale im Distrikt Anuradhapura . Westlich des Mahaseya in Mihintale befinden sich die Überreste eines kleineren Stupa, der als der Stupa identifiziert wurde, den König Uttiya, der Nachfolger von Devanampiyatissa, errichtete und in dem die Reliquien des großen Weisen Mahinda aufbewahrt wurden.

Es ist interessant, hier die Wiederentdeckung dieser Stupa mit den Worten des großen Gelehrten und Archäologen Dr. Senarat Paranavitana selbst zu erzählen, der entdeckte, dass es sich bei dem, was wie ein Trümmerhaufen aussah, tatsächlich um eine zerstörte Dagoba handelte. Paranavitana, der mit der Ausgrabung dieser Stätte begann, schreibt, dass 1951 der Sockel des Stupas vollständig von Trümmern befreit wurde und zwei Kalksteintreppen mit Flügelwänden aus Ziegeln zum Vorschein kamen, die den Zugang vom steingepflasterten Innenhof des Mahaseya zur Terrasse ermöglichten, auf der sich befand dieser kleinere Stupa stand.

Die Buddha-Bilder wurden dem 7. Jahrhundert n. Chr. zugeordnet und daher wird angenommen, dass dieser Stupa in diesem Jahrhundert renoviert wurde. Bei der Ausgrabung wurde auch der Reliquienembryo des Stupa entdeckt.
