The Inner Chamber of Thoddoo Dagaba โ€” 1958โ€“59 At the heart of the Thoddoo dagaba lay its most sacred space: the garbha (inner chamber). When the mound was carefully cleared in 1958โ€“59, workers uncovered a rectangular central pit, flanked by four smaller pits aligned to the cardinal directions. Sri Lankan archaeologist Dr. S. Paranavitana noted this as a rare survival of early Buddhist ritual design โ€” a symbolic map of the universe carved in coral stone. Inside were relic caskets shaped like miniature stupas, nested one inside another: coral stone, metal, silver, and gold. Each layer echoed traditions seen in South Asia, yet with distinct Maldivian adaptations. Offerings โ€” coins, rings, even an object described either as bone or a medicinal ingredient โ€” were placed inside as sacred relics to consecrate the dagaba. For centuries the chamber lay sealed beneath soil and trees, hidden after the Maldivesโ€™ conversion to Islam in 1153. Its brief rediscovery offered a glimpse into the Buddhist world that once flourished here โ€” before being covered again. This is the fourth of the main four posts on the Thoddoo discoveries of 1958โ€“59. The next post will share additional photographs from the dig to give a sense of its scale and context.

Thoddoo Excavation, 1958โ€“59 Here are more photographs from the Thoddoo dig โ€” restored to give a clearer sense of the site and the scale of the excavation. These images remind us of how much was uncovered, how much was lost, and how vital it is to preserve what remains of the Maldivesโ€™ ancient history.

The Buried Buddha of Thoddoo โ€” 1958โ€“59 As the Thoddoo dagaba excavation continued in 1958โ€“59, workers lifted a sandstone slab inside the mound. Beneath it lay a large statue of a robed monk, closely resembling Buddha images from Sri Lanka. The sculpture had been deliberately buried upright and sealed under stone and sand โ€” almost certainly hidden when the Maldives converted to Islam in 1153 and Buddhist worship was outlawed. Eyewitnesses described the atmosphere as charged with awe and fear. Some shouted at the statue as if it were a villain from folklore. By the next morning, its head had been smashed off. Though reattached, suspicion lingered and tensions rose. The statue was transported to Malรฉ and placed under a verandah at Mulee-aage, where officials debated what to do with it. Within days, however, a group stormed in and destroyed it. Only the head survived, now kept in the National Museum. One of the Maldivesโ€™ most remarkable archaeological finds was not lost to time, but to vandalism and fear. This is the second of four posts on the Thoddoo discoveries of 1958โ€“59. Next: the Roman Coins found in Thoddoo. Photo: Ali Najeeb, Thoddoo dagaba excavation, 1958โ€“59.
