The Satmahal Prasada ("seven-story tower") is a 12th century step pyramid in the northeast corner of the archaeological complex of Polonnaruwa in Sri Lanka. It is believed to be a stupa because it is in a Buddhist environment. It is unique in the area, of unknown builder and purpose. It is often compared to the stupa at Wat Kukut in Lamphun in Thailand and to the Buddhist architecture of Cambodia. According to the Mahavamsa, King Parakramabahu I the Great (1123-1186) built a seven-story tower at Polonnaruwa, but there is no certainty that he refers to this one.

| - La Satmahal o Sat Mahal Prasada (‘torre de siete pisos’) es una pirámide escalonada del siglo XII situada en Polonnaruwa (Sri Lanka); se cree que es una estupa porque se encuentra en el complejo arqueológico budista de Polonnaruwa, en su esquina noreste. Se trata de un edificio único en la zona, de autor y propósito desconocidos. Según el Mahavamsa, el rey el Grande (1123-1286) construyó una torre de siete pisos en Polonnaruwa, pero no hay seguridad de que se refiera a esta. (es)

| - La Satmahal o Sat Mahal Prasada (‘torre de siete pisos’) es una pirámide escalonada del siglo XII situada en Polonnaruwa (Sri Lanka); se cree que es una estupa porque se encuentra en el complejo arqueológico budista de Polonnaruwa, en su esquina noreste. Se trata de un edificio único en la zona, de autor y propósito desconocidos. Según el Mahavamsa, el rey el Grande (1123-1286) construyó una torre de siete pisos en Polonnaruwa, pero no hay seguridad de que se refiera a esta. Está hecha de ladrillo y una capa de enlucido. Tiene siete pisos, aunque del séptimo solo quedan restos. Tiene planta cuadrada, con una escalera lateral. Presenta la misma decoración en sus cuatro lados. Esta consiste, en la planta baja, en una falsa entrada. En los pisos superiores hay una escultura en el centro de cada pared (en el primer piso, en los demás solo quedan los restos), rodeada por un arco y los agujeros de anclaje de un nicho, hornacina o estructura similar. A menudo se compara con la estupa de Wat Kukut en Lamphun (Tailandia) y con la arquitectura budista de Camboya. También se ha relacionado con la pira de Hefestión, mandada construir el siglo IV a. C. por Alejandro Magno en Babilonia en honor de este general. (es)

According to the Mahavamsa, King Parakramabahu I the Great (1123-1186) built a seven-story tower at Polonnaruwa, but there is no certainty that he refers to this one. It is made of brick and a layer of plaster. It has seven floors, although the seventh only barely remains. It has a square plan, with a lateral staircase. It presents the same decoration on its four sides. On the ground floor, there is a false entrance. On the upper floors, there is a sculpture at the centre of each wall, surrounded by an arch and holes for anchoring a niche or a similar structure. It has been related to the pyre of Hephaestion, built in the 4th century BC by Alexander the Great in Babylon to honour that general. Wikimedia Commons has media related to Category:Satmahal Prasada.
