According to the folklore Deliwala Kota Vehera was built by a regional king called Keerthi Tissa in the 3rd century BC. On a request by him, the King Devanmpiyatissa (250-210 BC) invited Mihindu Maha Thero and he came to this temple with the relics which were ceremoniously enshrined. According to professor Paranavithana this stupa was built at least on the 1st century BC. Based on the Brami lettering on the bricks and size of the bricks archeologists believe these bricks belong to the period of King Dutugemunu (161-131 BC). But according to Mahavansa, this was built during the time of King Devanmpiyatissa (250-210 BC).

Although treasure hunters have missed this stupa, it has been in a very dilapidated state when it was found.
