Najboljši čas za obisk
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.
Nasveti za proračun
Entry is included in the combined Cultural Triangle ticket (about 30 USD for 2 days) which covers all sites in Polonnaruwa. Bring water and a reusable bottle, as bottles on site cost three times as much.

O znamenitosti
Hitre informacije: Njegove stene se dvigajo 17 metrov visoko, kar je impresivna višina za tempelj iz 12. stoletja. Arheologi so odkrili, da je bil prvotni kip Bude visok več kot 4 metre, danes so ostala le njegova stopala.
Poudarki: Za razliko od drugih kamnitih templjev so njegove stranske stene zgrajene iz rdeče opeke, arhitekturna anomalija, zaradi katere je skoraj edinstven med ruševinami Polonnaruwe. Ko se povzpnete do zadnjega nadstropja, kjer je nekoč stal kip Bude, se odpre dih jemajoč razgled na okoliško džunglo, zaradi katerega razumete, zakaj je imel ta kraj tako močan sveti pomen.
Notranji nasveti
- 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.
