There are 2,3 beliefs how the name Manakanda came into existance. Some says this monastry was built for Buddhist nuns.(So actually this is not a monastary but a Buddhist nunary.!) So "Meheni aa kanda"(the mountain that nuns came to) later came be kniwn as Manakanda. The orher legend is that Loard Buddha (or maybe Mahinda Thero ) himself has mada a visit to this place, hence "Mahana aa kanda"(the mountain that The Monk came to) later became Manakanda.In this video it is given yet another meaning to the name of this place. However this is a site of Buddhist heritage worth visisting. It is not far away from the Anuradhapura Colombo main road. Quite close to Maradankadawala town, maybe about 2 or 3km.

Watching the video, one feels that the archeology officer also speculates that Yashodhara Devi is the resting place.
