马希扬加那精舍佛塔
根据《大史》，Sivuhelaya（斯里兰卡）是由Sivu-Helayos居住的。当时，Yakkhas（部落）住在Mahiyangana。据说，佛陀与他们进行了关于法的讨论。一位名为Saman的Yakkha首领（现在被认为是神）在听到佛陀的讲道后，达到了Sotapanna（解脱的第一阶段），并请求佛陀给予他们一个在佛陀不在时可以供奉的标志。佛陀给了他一把自己头发的遗物，后来由Saman将其安置在一个小的舍利塔中，塔高10英尺（3.0米）。这是佛陀在世时在斯里兰卡建造的第一个舍利塔。在佛陀的涅槃后，一位名为Sarabhu的阿罗汉带来了佛陀的左肩骨，这些骨头是从火葬场捡回来的。这件遗物也被安置在舍利塔中，塔的高度被扩展到18英尺（5.5米）。从那时起，几位国王修复并扩大了这座舍利塔。国王Dutugamunu将其升高到120英尺。像Voharikatissa、Sena II、Vijayabahu I和Kirthi Sri Rajasinghe等统治者维护了这座寺庙。1942年，在斯里兰卡第一任总理Rt Hon. D. S. Senanayake的领导下，成立了一个用于修复寺庙的协会。重建工作于1953年开始，并于1980年完成了舍利塔的新顶端。
