The Ratnaghara literally translates to the Jewel House and lies on the north-western side of the temple premises and is enclosed by pinkish walls. Buddha spent his fourth week of meditation here, reflecting on Patthana or the Law of Dependent Origination. According to legend, it is here that colours were emitted out of Buddha’s body—which now find themselves in Buddhist flags.
