Dambakolapatuna Sangamiththa Buddhist Temple is the temple built near or at the Dambakola Patuna site, dedicated to Princess Sangamiththa and her contributions to Buddhism in Sri Lanka. The temple serves as a site of worship and reflection on the significant historical event associated with the Bodhi tree’s arrival.
Dambakola Patuna is the name of the historical location, situated in the Jaffna District of Sri Lanka. It is an important site in Sri Lankan history, as it is believed to be the landing point of Princess Sangamiththa in the 3rd century BCE. Princess Sangamiththa, the daughter of Emperor Ashoka of India, brought the sapling of the sacred Bodhi tree to Sri Lanka, which was planted in Anuradhapura and has since become one of the most revered sites in the country.
