Kenimadala

Kenimadala is an architectural term utilised in medieval Sinhalese timber structures.[1] It is used to describe the circular roof plate or structural member where the rafters, śalākā, connect at the apex of a domed or conical roof.[2] The roof of a dageba or cetiya, above the stupa were generally domical in shape and were constructed of timber rafters which were held together on the top by means of a circular boss or kenimandala.

It is also known as Kannikā in Pali,[3] which means 'sun-gate', as it represents the doorway where the worthy or arhat leave the world.[4]
