Parim aeg külastamiseks
Visit early in the morning (7:00-9:00) when the raking light illuminates the red bricks and the temperatures are still cool. Avoid the afternoon between 12:00 and 15:00 when the scorching sun makes the visit uncomfortable.

Teave
Kiired faktid: Selle seinad ulatuvad 17 meetri kõrgusele, mis on 12. sajandi templi jaoks muljetavaldav kõrgus. Arheoloogid on avastanud, et algne Buddha kuju oli üle 4 meetri kõrge, tänapäeval on sellest säilinud vaid jalad.
Esiletõstmised: Erinevalt teistest kivitemplitest on selle külgseinad ehitatud punastest tellistest, arhitektuuriline anomaalia, mis teeb selle Polonnaruwa varemete seas peaaegu ainulaadseks. Ronides viimasele korrusele, kus kunagi asus Buddha kuju, avaneb hingekosutav vaade ümbritsevale džunglile, mis paneb mõistma, miks see paik oli nii võimsa püha tähendusega.
Sisekujunduse nõuanded
- Enter from the north side of the temple to avoid the crowd that gathers at the main entrance around 10:00.
- Bring a white umbrella: it reflects heat and allows you to take creative photos with the red bricks in the background.
- The stairways are steep and without handrails, so wear closed shoes with non-slip soles.
- Do not skip the small side shrine dedicated to Vishnu: few visitors notice it, but it preserves fragments of well-preserved original frescoes.
