The now venerated as God Saman prayed that a relic be given to rememer Buddha'[s visit. A loft of hair had been offefred to him where a 30 cubit Dagao was built and later various Kings enlarged the Dagabo to he presen height.The last person to adorned the Dagabo with a Golden Pinnacle was former Prime Minster Dudley Sennanyake, perhaps his last visit too.The Karanduwa was brought down by the Mahanayke of Asgiri Venerable Panditha Warakgoda Gnanratne Thera- the Trustee of the Mahiyangana Raja Maha Vihare by virtue of his office as Mahanaayke.
The Karanduwa was handed over to the Incumbent of Mahiyagana Raja Mahas Vihare Venrable Panditha Urulawatte Dhamrakeerthi Thera to place the Karanduwa onthe Tusker for the Perahera to commence.
