Lankatilaka Viharaya

The Sri Lanka Tiraka Buddha Temple was first built by Poro Rama Maha and later renovated by Vijayabahu V. It is a 12th century building. 1. Architectural details The walls of this huge Buddhist temple Gedige are 17 meters high, 52 meters deep and 18 meters wide. But the roof has collapsed. Entering the hall, there is a huge headless standing Buddha on a side corridor similar to the church architectural style. In addition, relief works are decorated on the outer wall of the Buddhist temple, showing the typical architectural style of the early Polonnaruwa period. Standing next to the stone steps at the entrance, you will be shocked by the height of the Buddhist temple, as if it is straight into the sky. 2. Meditation Road There is a dark road called Meditation Road behind the Buddha statue. It is said that one of the daily lessons of the monks was to walk on this road for meditation, three times a day. .
