Teave
Kiired faktid: Ronige seitsmendale korrusele ja näete endiselt auke puittaladele, mis kunagi põrandaid kandsid, tõeline luustik avatud taeva all. Keegi ei tea täpselt, kes selle ehitas: võib-olla kuningas Parakramabahu, võib-olla Hiina kaupmehed, võib-olla unustatud hindu tempel.
Esiletõstmised: Erinevalt teistest Polonnaruwa ehitistest on sellel seitsmekorruselisel tornil Sri Lankas ainulaadne püramiidne kuju, peaaegu nagu Hiina pagood, mis kasvanud singali maal. Proovi seista põhjakülje keskel: sealt joondub kogu ehitis täiuslikult suvise pööripäeva koidikuga, astronoomiline joondus, mida vähesed külastajad märkavad.
Sisekujunduse nõuanded
- Bring a hat and plenty of water: the structure is completely outdoors and the reflection of the sun on the white bricks is already very strong by 9:00.
- Shoot from the southwest side at dawn to have the seven levels perfectly lit with no tourists in the background.
- Don't limit yourself to the ground floor: climb all the way to the top, the view of the surrounding forest and the nearby Reclining Buddha Temple is worth the hike.
- Combine the visit with the adjacent Vatadage and the Reclining Buddha Temple, all reachable on foot in 5 minutes.
