Arisimale Stupa

Arisimale Stupa: Preserving Heritage, Inspiring Generations

Arisimale, a serene coastal village located approximately 50 kilometers north of Trincomalee in Pulmude, holds a profound place in Sri Lanka's Buddhist history. This sacred site is believed to have been visited by the merchants Thapassu and Bhalluka, who were entrusted with sacred locks of hair from Lord Buddha. These relics were later enshrined at the historic Girihanduseya Stupa in Thiriyaya.

Arisimale's rich history is further evidenced by the archaeological treasures that dot the region, underscoring its significance as a cultural and spiritual landmark.

Recognizing the timeless value of this heritage, the Chairman of Asha Group of Companies spearheaded the construction of a magnificent Stupa at Arisimale. This endeavor not only pays homage to the spiritual essence of the site but also serves as a symbol of the enduring connection between history, faith, and community.

In the present context, the Arisimale Stupa stands as a beacon of resilience and unity, fostering a deeper appreciation for Sri Lanka's Buddhist heritage. It invites pilgrims and visitors to reflect on the teachings of Lord Buddha, while also emphasizing the importance of preserving historical sites for future generations.

Through this initiative, Asha Group reaffirms its commitment to cultural preservation and national heritage, contributing to the spiritual and historical legacy of Sri Lanka.
