What is Upulvan Shrine History at Devinuvara about?
The document discusses the Upulvan shrine located in Devinuvara, Sri Lanka. It provides historical context from ancient texts and inscriptions mentioning places of worship at the site from as early as the 7th century AD. Archaeological excavations revealed three separate areas of religious significance: 1) Saiva temples and rest areas on the beach, 2) an ancient Buddhist vihara inland, and 3) the Upulvan shrine, considered the most important, separated from the vihara by an intervening town.
