Day 02 KANDY- SIGIRIYA

Pidurangala Rock: Pidurangala Rock, which is just a little lower than Sigiriya Rock, is the best place to view Sigiriya Rock. Pidurangala Rock is a popular sunrise spot, offering 360-degree panoramic views of the valleys and Sigiriya Rock.

Sigiriya rock: King Kashyapa, in the 5th Century, domesticated the Lions Rock by building a Palace atop the summit. It was well designed to defend it by having ramparts & moats constructed around it. The Rock is unique due to its shape, which cannot be found anywhere else on this island.

Water gardens and archaeological technology of the giant lion carving at the entrance have been preserved. They are precious. You will find colorful frescoes and unique paintings of women when you climb the steps.

The mirror wall in Sigiriya is another place to read the verses visitors have written. Their poems were mainly inspired by their experiences, love, and irony.

Gal Vihara statues were crafted during the reigns of King Parakrabahu (11153-1186 A.C). They are in perfect preservation and still have their sublimity. The sculptors at Gal Vihara had more excellent skill and expertise in the art of Sri Lankan stone sculpture. Images at Gal Vihara brought the viewers a higher level of awareness regarding Buddhist art from Sri Lanka.

 

The Lankatilaka Temple is one of the most evocative buildings in Polonnaruwa. It was initially built by Parakramabahu and restored by Vijayabahu. The massive edge, a stone Buddhist temple with a corbelled roof and thick walls, has walls that are 17m high. However, the roof is collapsed. Sigiriya is a great place to spend the night after a temple visit.

Jethawanaramaya-Jethawana Stupa, the largest stupa of Sri Lanka. It was originally 400 feet tall (122 meters) and the third-highest building in the entire world. Jethawanaramaya is still the tallest brick monument in the world, even today.

 

Mihintale Mountain: Mihintale Mountain became a residence for the monks of Arahath Mahinda Mahathera with the arrival of Buddhism in Sri Lanka. The sanctuary was soon flooded with monastic structures, such as stupas, uposathgharas and bodhigharas. This was all done under the royal patronage.
