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.

Parakramabahu Statue Polonnaruwa | පරාක්රමබාහු ප්රතිමාව පොළොන්නරුව
The statue near the Potgul Vehera in Polonnaruwa, commonly known as the statue of Parakramabahu I, is a stone sculpture dating back to the Polonnaruwa period of ancient Sri Lanka. Its identity is uncertain, although the widely accepted theory is that it is a statue of Parakramabahu I. However, it has also been suggested as the statue of a sage. Carved on a large boulder, the statue depicts a majestic figure with a grave expression, holding a book or yoke in his hands
Polonnaruwa - Sri Lanka's splendid medieval capital
While Vijayabahu's victory and shifting of kingdoms to the more strategic Polonnaruwa is considered significant, the real Hero of Polonnaruwa of the history books is actually his grandson, Parakramabahu I. It was his reign that is considered the Golden Age of Polonnaruwa, when trade and agriculture flourished under the patronage of the king, who was so adamant that no drop of water falling from the heavens was to be wasted, and each was to be used toward the development of the land; hence, irrigation systems that are far superior to those of the Anuradhapura Age were constructed during Parakramabahu's reign, systems which to this day supply the water necessary for paddy cultivation during the scorching dry season in the east of the country. The greatest of these systems, is the Parakrama Samudraya or the Sea of Parakrama. It is of such a width that it is impossible to stand upon one shore and view the other side, and it encircles the main city like a ribbon, being both a moat against intruders and the lifeline of the people in times of peace. The Kingdom of Polonnaruwa was completely self-sufficient during King Parakramabahu's reign.
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.[citation needed] They also went on to form more intimate 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 Kalinga 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 moved to Dambadeniya.
The city of Polonnaruwa was also called Jananathamangalam during the short Chola reign.
Today the ancient city of Polonnaruwa remains one of the best planned archaeological relic sites in the country, standing testimony to the discipline and greatness of the Kingdom's first rulers. Its beauty was also used as a backdrop to filmed scenes for the Duran Duran music video Save a Prayer in 1982. The ancient city of Polonnaruwa has been declared a World Heritage site by UNESCO.
Near the ancient city, there is a small town with several hotels (especially for tourists) and some glossy shops, and places to fulfill day-to-day needs. There are government institutions in a newly built area called new town, about 6 km away from the town and the main road. The largest school in the district, Polonnaruwa Royal Central College is situated at new town.
Polonnaruwa is the second largest city in North Central Province, but it is known as one of the cleanest and more beautiful cities in the country. The green environment, amazing ancient constructions, Parakrama Samudraya (a huge lake built in 1200), and attractive tourist hotels and hospitable people, attract tourists.

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.

Kiri Vehera in Polonnaruwa - Tourist Destination in Sri Lanka.
This large stupa known as the Kiri Vehera of Polonnaruwa, lying north of Lankathilaka Pilima Ge is said to be built by a queen of king Parakramabahu (1153-1186) called “Subadra”. The original name of this has been “Rupavathi Stupa” and this too is a part of Ãlahana Privena and stands 80 feet in height today.
This stupa is also the second biggest stupa in Polonnaruwa today. Also it is the only stupa to survive the 900 years of forces of nature and still is in the original condition.
There are many restored smaller stupas around Kiri Vehera. These have been identified as burial chambers of high priests and royals. Many of these including Kiri Vehera stupa has been attacked by treasure hunters and their valuables looted.
