The arrival of the Sacred Bo Sapling taken from the Sacred Bo tree at Buddha Gaya in present day Bihar in India was at a site named 'Dambakola Patuna' in Northern Sri Lanka, about three Kilometers from Keerimalai. The site of landing is commemorated by this site which has a Bo Tree, A Dagoba and Shrine rooms. There is no resident Monk and the site is maintained in excellent condition by the Sri Lankan Navy.
