Prasada Stupa ( Indikatu Seya)
This small stupa lies between the Ratnaprasada and the 3rd Samadhi Statue of Abayagiri Monastery in Anuradhapura. It is built surrounding a small rock and belongs to the Prasada type of Stupa similar to the Satmahal Prasada in Polonnaruwa. These have a square base instead of the usual circular base and are common in Thailand.
The original name of the Stupa is not known but now it is known as Prasada Stupa. Locally it is also known as Indikatu Seya and also as The Tomb of King Dutugemunu. Only a part of the stupa remains today including some remains of the Image House. It is believed that this stupa belongs to the late Anuradhapura Period.
