The building is complete made out of bricks and the outer walls are covered with elaborate designs and carvings. The Buddha statue is also completely made out of clay bricks and it has been 41 feet in height. Specially made flat bricks have been used to build this statue and today the portion above the shoulder is destroyed.

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.

LANKATILAKA TEMPLE, POLONNARUWA, SRI LANKA

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.
