NAGADEEPA PURANA VIHARA

One of the few Buddhist temples in the north, built on the site of the second visit of Buddha. According to legend, Buddha came to this place in 581 BC to settle a dispute between two Naga kings over the possession of a throne adorned with precious stones. As a sign of gratitude, the two reconciled monarchs built a stupa to give the throne to Buddha. None of this remains: the superb stupa and the neighbouring temple you will find were built in the 1940s.
