Hakkında
Hızlı bilgiler: Bu dairesel tuğla duvarlar bir zamanlar Sri Lanka'nın en kutsal hazinesini koruyordu: Buda'nın diş röliği. Her biri bir ana yöne bakan dört görkemli oyma giriş, 12. yüzyıldan kalma bu yapının merkezinde yükselen küçük stupaya açılır.
Öne çıkanlar: En alt platformdaki üç sıra karmaşık oymayı yakından inceleyin: her katman filler, aslanlar ve taşa işlenmiş dans eden cücelerle farklı bir hikaye anlatır. Kuzey girişindeki taş ay (sandakada pahana), beş eş merkezli alev, hayvan ve nilüfer çiçeği sırasıyla Sri Lanka heykel sanatının en iyi örneği olarak kabul edilir.
İçeriden ipuçları
- Enter from the north entrance first: here you will find the most beautiful moonstone of the entire site, often overlooked by hurried visitors.
- Place your smartphone on the ground with the camera parallel to the stone to capture the perfect symmetry of the three carved bands: it makes a cover-worthy shot.
- Skip the center of the monument if there is a line; the best view is from the outside, encompassing the entire circle of columns.
- Bring a water bottle because inside the archaeological area there are no water points and the sun beats down hard as early as 9:00 AM.
