Jaya Sri Maha Bodhi

Located within the peaceful Mahamewna Gardens, the Jaya Sri Maha Bodhi is believed to be one of the oldest living trees in the world. It grew from a sapling brought from Bodh Gaya in India—the very place where Lord Buddha attained enlightenment. Revered as a sacred symbol, this legendary tree serves as a direct, living connection to the Buddha himself.
