Ranmasu Uyana, Ancient royal park in Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka.

The garden extends across 40 acres of land between Thissa Wewa reservoir and Isurumuniya temple, featuring ponds, stone structures, and natural rock formations.

King Devanam Piya Tissa established this royal garden in the 3rd century BC, with later additions of pleasure pavilions during the 8th and 9th centuries AD.

Local narratives tell of Prince Saliya encountering Asokamala within these gardens, making it a significant location in Sri Lankan royal history.

Visitors can access the archaeological site through pathways connecting from Tissawewa and neighboring historical monuments in the sacred city of Anuradhapura.

The park includes an ancient carving known as Sakwala Chakraya, which scholars interpret as an early representation of a world map.
