The names of the two merchants are recorded on a rock inscription in the temple premises.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"google-auto-placed ap_container\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The names of the two merchants Thapassu and Bhalluka have also been stated in later Sinhala chronicles giving credit to them for constructing Girihanduseya.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The stupa in the temple is especially venerated by people as it is believed that hair relics of the Buddha are enshrined in it. The temple is on a hillock near the sea coast, 47 kms to the North of Trincomalee. The summit is occupied by a Vatadage containing the stupa in the centre. The stupa which was originally small had been enlarged in the 8th century AD. The Vatadage covers the stupa with a concentric circles of stone pillars similar to Thuparama and Lankarama stupas in Anuradhapura.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The stone circular platform is open to the four directions and accessed by flight of steps with guardstones (Muragal) and balustrades (Korawakgal) showing the usual Sinhalese architecture.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">On the terrace lower than the Vatadage are vestiges of monastic structures including ruined buildings, stone pillars, flights of steps, ponds and remains of a stone bridge. There are rock caves on the slope of the hill, two of which contain Brahmi inscriptions, one of the pre-Christian form of the script and the other dating from about the first century.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">To the South of the Vatadage, there is another inscription engraved on the rock surface which contains eleven lines of writing revealing the names of two merchants as well as the temple.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The inscription written in Sanskrit states that it was constructed in the 23rd year of the reign of King Silamegha, the Lord of Simpala.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">There is a tank called Nithupathpana near the temple, which is said to have been built by King Vasabha (67-111 A,D). The temple was renovated by King Vijayabahu (1055-1110 A.D.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The Pujawaliya, a 13th Century Sinhalese religious work states that the two merchants Thapassu and Bhalluka built a stupa enshrining the hair relics of the Buddha when they came to Sri Lanka having been on a sea voyage. It also states that the two merchants came to the place called Girihandu and placed the casket of the relics on the summit of the rock and went out to have meals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">When they returned after having their meals, they could not move the relic casket from the place where it was.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Finally, giving honour to it, they covered the casket with a heap of stones and went on their way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The sacred site which was covered with a jungle for centuries was rediscovered by Ven. Gandara Sri Ananda Thera. Ven.
