Narrative Text:
Throughout history in Sri Lanka, emperors of each dynasty deeply venerated Buddhism. We find in Polonnaruwa that different emperors built ornate palaces to enshrine the Buddha, Bodhisattvas and even housed the most precious Buddhist relics in one of the palaces. If you make a walk around the area, you will notice and appreciate that this is like an outdoor museum of Buddhist architecture.

Galviharaya In Polonnaruwa, Sri Lanka
The Gal Vihara (Sinhalese: ගල් විහාරය), also known as Gal Viharaya and originally as the Uttararama, is a rock temple of the Buddha situated in the ancient city of Polonnaruwa in North Central Province, Sri Lanka. It was fashioned in the 12th century by Parakramabahu I. The central feature of the temple is four rock relief statues of the Buddha, which have been carved into the face of a large granite rock. The images consist of a large seated figure, another smaller seated figure inside an artificial cavern, a standing figure and a reclining figure. These are considered to be some of the best examples of ancient Sinhalese sculpting and carving arts, and have made the Gal Vihara the most visited monument at Polonnaruwa.
The images of Uttararama follow a different style from the images of the previous Anuradhapura period, and show some significant differences. The identity of the standing image is subject to a certain amount of dispute among historians and archaeologists, some of whom argue that it depicts the monk Ananda rather than the Buddha. Each of the images have been carved in a way that uses a maximum possible area of the rock, and their heights seem to have been decided based on the height of the rock itself. Each statue appears to have had its own image house, as indicated by the remains of brick walls at the site. The Uttararama was where Parakramabahu I held a congregation of monks to purify the Buddhist priesthood, and later drew up a code of conduct for them. This code of conduct has been recorded in an inscription on the same rock face containing the images of the Buddha.

Narrative Text:
In the ancient city of Polonnaruwa, there are many ancient relics worth seeing. The Buddha statue in Gal Vihara Temple is just one of many diverse relics. I am now at the archeological site of Lankatilaka Temple, and we can see the beautiful work of the original design. The Buddha statue in the middle of the temple evokes a feeling of the Buddha's greatness and extraordinary qualities. The craftsmen designed the temple in order to provide the place for Buddhist worship. For instance, in this ancient area, there are many meditation paths. When people practice walking meditation on those paths, they can easily enter a state of mind in purity and stillness.
