The main stupa was first carved out of a rock and then veneered with bricks.

At Lingalametta, there are innumerable rock-cut monolithic stupa in rows, spread all over the hill.

Other attractions are a relic casket, three chaitya halls, votive platforms, stupas and Vajrayana sculptures.

The vihara was active for about 1000 year, spanning the Theravada, Mahayana and Vajrayana phases of Buddhism.
