O znamenitosti
Hitre informacije: Imenovana "Hiša podob" gosti nekatere najbolj impozantne stoječe kipe Bude v Polonnaruwi, visoke več kot 3 metre. Notranje stene ohranjajo fragmente originalnih fresk iz 12. stoletja, ki so še vedno vidne kljub stoletjem izpostavljenosti vremenskim vplivom.
Poudarki: Za razliko od drugih odprtih templjev se tukaj hodi v zaprtem prostoru, ki ojača odmev korakov in ustvarja skoraj hipnotično vzdušje. Kipi niso poravnani, kot bi pričakovali: eden je rahlo zasukan proti vhodu, kot da bi pozdravljal vstopajočega s stranskim pogledom.
Notranji nasveti
- Enter through the less crowded side door on the north side, and observe the statues from different angles before stopping in front of the central one.
- Bring a pocket flashlight: the frescoes on the ceiling and in the dark corners are much better seen with direct light.
- Do not focus only on the large statues: look down and you will find small carvings and floral patterns on the stone bases.
- If you arrive after 10:00 AM, visit the nearby Vatadage first and come back here once the tourist group has passed.
