ミヒンダ・マハ・ストゥーパは、アヌラーダプラ地区ミヒンタレーの古代複合施設内にあります。ミヒンタレーのマハセヤの西には、デヴァナンピヤティッサの後継者であるウッティヤ王が偉大な聖者マヒンダの遺物を祀って建てたものと特定される小さな仏塔の遺跡があります。

ここで、瓦礫の山に見えたものが実際には荒廃したダゴバであったことを発見した偉大な学者で考古学者のセナラト・パラナビタナ博士自身の言葉で、この仏塔の再発見について詳しく語るのは興味深い。この遺跡の発掘に着手したパラナビタナは、1951 年に仏塔の基部から瓦礫が完全に取り除かれ、翼壁がレンガの石灰石の 2 段の階段が現れ、マハセヤの石畳の中庭からその上のテラスにアクセスできるようになったと書いています。この小さな仏塔が立っていた。

仏像は西暦 7 世紀のものとされているため、この仏塔はその世紀に改修されたと考えられています。発掘調査では仏塔の遺物胎児も発見されている。
