Naka Vihara

Naka Vihara is a stupa, or Buddhist religious monument, built with bricks and square in shape. The stupa is located in Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka. The site was constructed according to an unusual model and would have been similar to the seven story building (Satmahal Prasadaya) in Polonnaruwa, Sri Lanka. Excavations done at this location revealed several clay caskets.
