Yudaganawa Chaitya ümbermõõt on 317 m (1 040 jalga) ning algselt arvati, et see on Kota Vehera – suur stuupa, mis on ehitatud poole kõrguseni ning mille peale on rajatud väiksem stuupa. Hiljutised arheoloogilised väljakaevamised on aga näidanud, et tegemist ei olnud Kota Veheraga, vaid see oli kunagi täielik stuupa.

Ajaloolise kroonika Rajaveliya järgi on see koht, kus kaks venda, prints Dutugemunu ja prints Saddatissa, pidasid lahingu kuningriigi trooni pärast. Prints Saddatissa kaotas lahingu ja põgenes, et leida varjupaika Dematamal Viharayas Okkampitiyas. Kuninganna ema Viharamahadevi oli kurvastatud oma kahe poja vahelise vaenu pärast ning palus neil leppida. Selle tulemusena leppisid vennad ära ning selle tähistamiseks rajati lahinguväljale, kus nad võitlesid, hiiglaslik stuupa. Mõned ajaloolased usuvad, et sellel kohal oli juba varem olemas chaitya, mis hiljem taastati ja nimetati Yudagana Chaityaks.
