Rankoth Vehera is a stupa located in the ancient city of Polonnaruwa in Sri Lanka.
[1] The Rankoth Vehera has been built according to the tradition of the stupas of the Anuradhapura Maha Viharaya and bears a close resemblance to Ruwanwelisaya.
Thus, the name Rankoth Vehera can be roughly translated to English as "Gold Pinnacled Stupa".
The stupa is located in the center of a large square terrace, which is also surrounded by a brick wall.
[4] A stone inscription near one of the entrances mention that King Nissanka Malla observed and supervised the construction of the stupa from there.
