Polonnaruwa, Sri Lanka
Video with images of ancient monuments in Polonnaruwa a former capital of the Sinhalese kingdom in the northeast plain of central Sri Lanka.
South of the ancient city wall is a water reservoir with a group of monuments from the twelfth century. One of these monuments is an image of a human person with a beard and moustache. This person has a full face, big forehead and round belly. The garment around his waist is tied in a knot. The object in his hands is presumably a book. This realistic image of a human person differs from other images which in general represent an idealized or stylized Buddha figure. It is not exactly clear who this image must represent. Some say that the image is an Indian guru or sage. Others think that it is king Parakramabahu who reigned the kingdom in the middle of the twelfth century.
Within the ancient city wall near his royal palace is an audience hall where king Parakramabahu managed all public administration and legislation. Here he presided meetings with his ministers and prominent citizens. Here were also public lectures and ceremonies. The audience hall consists of terraces with reliefs of sculpted elephants and lions which are all represented in different positions. The reliefs of the upper terrace depict round bellied dwarfs or ganna as a symbol of prosperity. At the top of the staircase which leads to the entrance are two giant lions. Stone columns on top of the audience hall used to carry a wooden roof. Each column has an inscription with the name of a minister who used to sit in a chair near the pillar.
North of the palace complex is a quadrangular fenced terrace with other monuments. The Vatadage built by king Parakramabahu is a round image house on a platform. The platform wall is decorated with reliefs of animals, flowers and dwarfs. Four staircases with a guardstone on both sides and a moon stone at the foot lead to an entrance where Buddha sits with his back against a central dagoba. Opposite the Vatadage are two temples for the tooth relic of Buddha. The Atadage was built by Parakramabahu's predecessor king Vijayabahu. Only some pillars and a statue of Buddha remain. The Hatadage was built by Prakaramabahu's successor king Nissanka Malla. A wall with a staircase remains, as well as a guard stone and three Buddha statues. The adjacent Latha Mandapaya was built by king Nissanka Malla. It is a square pavilion with a latticed stone fence. In the middle of the platform is a small dagoba encircled by stone pillars shaped like lotus stalks. Next to these temples is the Gal Pota which was presumably made by king Nissanka Malla. The sides of this large stone book show reliefs of elephants that sprinkle the goddess of prosperity with water. The nearby Satmahal Prasada is a red brick image house in the shape of a stepped pyramid with six diminishing stories. At the outside are niches with remains of divine images. Close to the fenced terrace is a Hindu temple from the thirteenth century. This Shiva Devale temple has Tamil inscriptions and a styled lingam. The temple shows the return of Indian influences in the latter days of the Polonnaruwa kingdom.
North of the ancient city wall is another group of monuments. One of these monuments is the Rankot Vihara a dagoba which was built by king Nissanka Malla. The dagoba has a dome of earth fill covered by a brick mantle and plaster coating. At the foot is an image house and altars. The Gal Vihara is a rock temple from the middle of the twelfth century with three giant Buddha images which were all cut from one long slab of granite rock. They were part of a monastery built by king Parakramabahu. At the left is a seated Buddha in meditation. On the background are rock sculptures of a gate and buildings. Then comes a simple portico which leads to an image house in the rock. Next is a standing Buddha with his hands crossed in front of his breast. Presumably this is Buddha after reaching enlightenment or a pupil that mourns for the death of his teacher. At the right is an image of a reclining Buddha. His head rests on a pillow with the symbol of a sun wheel. It is the image of a dying Buddha who enters nirvana.

Polonnaruwa, Sri Lanka (photos)
Polonnaruwa, the second capital of the ancient kingdom and witness to several civilisations, is now home to hundreds of ancient structures. Located in the North Central province of Sri Lanka, Polonnaruwa is a UNESCO Heritage Site and a travel destination for both foreigners and locals, who come to visit the ruins.
L'histoire de Polonnaruwa - Kingdom of Polonnaruwa
Après la chute d'Anuradhapura, la partie nord de l'île devint une province de Chola. Les Cholas fondèrent alors une nouvelle capitale appelée aujourd'hui Polonnaruwa au sud-est d'Anuradhapura
En 1070, le roi cinghalais Vijaya Bâhu Ier parvient à libérer Anuradhapura du règne de Chola, mais la communauté tamoule reste bien évidemment implantée dans ses zones traditionnelles, en particulier dans le nord.
Polonnaruwa devint la capitale du Sri Lanka après Anuradhapura par la volonté du roi Vijayabahu qui réunifia le pays en 1070. Néanmoins, même si Vijayabahu fit de Polonnaruwa la capitale du Sri Lanka, le vrai « héros de Polonnaruwa » c’est son petit-fils Parakramabahu à qui l’on doit l’âge d’or de Polonnaruwa.
Un haut lieu du Patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO.

After the fall of Anuradhapura, the northern part of the island became a province of Chola. The Cholas then founded a new capital now called Polonnaruwa southeast of Anuradhapura
In 1070, the Sinhalese king Vijaya Bahu I managed to liberate Anuradhapura from the reign of Chola, but the Tamil community remains obviously established in its traditional areas, especially in the north.
Polonnaruwa became the capital of Sri Lanka after Anuradhapura by the will of King Vijayabahu who reunited the country in 1070. Nevertheless, even though Vijayabahu made Polonnaruwa the capital of Sri Lanka, the true hero of Polonnaruwa is his grandson Parakramabahu to whom we owe the golden age of Polonnaruwa.
A UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Polonnaruwa Sri Lanka Acme Travels
Polonnaruwa the second most ancient of Sri Lanka's kingdoms, Polonnaruwa was first declared the capital city by King Vijayabahu I, who defeated the Chola invaders in 1070 CE to reunite the country once more under a local leader. While Vijayabahu's victory and shifting of Kingdoms to the more strategic Polonnaruwa is considered significant, the real Polonnaruwa Hero of the history books is actually his grandson, Parakramabahu I. The city Polonnaruwa was also called as Jananathamangalam during the short Chola reign. However, with the exception of his immediate successor, Nissankamalla I, all other monarchs of Polonnaruwa, were slightly weak-willed and rather prone to picking fights within their own court. They also went on to form more intimiate matrimonial alliances with stronger South Indian Kingdoms, until these matrimonial links superseded the local royal lineage and gave rise to the Kalinga invasion by King Magha in 1214 and the eventual passing of power into the hands of a Pandyan King following the Arya Chakrawarthi invasion of Sri Lanka in 1284. The capital was then shifted to Dambadeniya. Today the ancient city of Polonnaruwa remains one of the best planned Archeological relic sites in the country, standing testimony to the discipline and greatness of the Kingdom's first rulers. The ancient city of Polonnaruwa has been declared a World Heritage site by UNESCO.
