A little more perspective
This is the tourism authority’s present-monument height, taken from the structural base through the highest pinnacle. It does not represent the elevation of Anuradhapura, a reconstructed ancient height, or the white dome alone.
The tapering structure above the dome accounts for a substantial part of the total. The comparison keeps that pinnacle attached to the stupa while excluding the wider courtyard, surrounding elephant wall and neighboring trees.
