Text: "Nothing is known about the ancient name or the builder of this stupa popularly known as Kiri Vehera. But it is speculated that this is the work of Queen Subadra, a consort of King Parākramabāhu I the Great (1153-1186). The present name probably derives from the fact that its lime plaster of the dome is better preserved than most other stupas in Polonnnaruva."
