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.
