Sri Lanka - Sigiriya Rock
Sigiriya Rock Sri Lanka
Sigiriya History
The Sigiriya Rock Fortress of Sri Lanka is situated in Matale district near to Dambulla. It can be reached along Colombo- Habarana highway and turning towards East from Inamaluwa. Then proceeding about 10 km from Inamaluwa and passing Kimbissa township one arrives at Sigiriya.
Before Sigiriya became a Kingdom, the Sigiriya Rock base and the places such as Pidurangala which were endowed with many Caves and a temple had been dwelled by Buddhist monks from around 3rd Century BC. It is also found that these areas had been inhabitant by people prior to King Kassapa's rein. Many Caves also have Brahmi Inscriptions dating back from 3rd Century BC to 1st century AD.
After King Mahanama who ruled Anuradhapura from 410- 432 AD, a Prince named Dhatusena became the King of Anuradhapura in 459 AD, defeating the Indian invader 'Pandu'. The King Dhatusena was the ruler who constructed Kala Wewa or the Kala Wewa Tank, by building a dam across Kala Oya , which is a small river type. The man made 54 mile long Yoda Ela, which takes water from Kala Wewa to Tissa wewa is considered as an Irrigation engineering wonder even at the present day. It has a gradient of just 6 inches per mile along the first 17 miles , which means the level different is just over 8 feet even after the 17 th mile along the canal. During his rein the famous full relief Aukana Buddha statue also was constructed out of a rock which stands 42 feet high.
He had two sons from two queens. Mugalan [ also called as Moggallana ] from the head queen and Kassapa's [ also called as Kashyapa ] from a companion queen. Prince Kashyapa, with the help of the general of the army of King Dhatusena, named Migara, got his father killed and became the King. Prince Mugalan, fearing for his life, escaped to India. The Buddhist Bhikkus and the people were against his conduct and favoured Price Mugalan for the rulership. Fearing that Mugalan will come with an army from India to avenge him at a later day, King Kassapa decided to make Sigiriya as his kingdom. During his rule of eighteen years from 477 AD to 495 AD Sigiriya Kingdom was created. It is believed that he sought the refuge of Sigiriya rock for his safety fearing for his life.
After 18 years, Prince Mugalan came with an army from India to fight with King Kassapa. During the battle Kassapa killed himself thus Mugalan became the King. He went back to Anuradhapura and ruled the country from there and handed over Sigiriya back to the Buddhist priests. Sigiriya as a Kingdom was abandoned in around 1150 AD and was almost forgotten for the next seven centuries Though King Kashyapa is not regarded in high esteem in Sri Lankan history due to his dubious conduct, he is credited as a ruler with unsurpassed imagination put into reality to create a Sri Lankan style marvel of high calibre art and engineering skills that could even challange the outer world structures at that time, which definitely is amazing even in the 21st century with whatever is remaining as ruins of Sigiriya.

Sigiriya Rock Fortress, Dambulla | Go Places Sri Lanka
The Sigiriya Rock Fortress, situated in Matale district near to Dambulla, was built by King Kasyapa in the 5th century A.D. and was a royal citadel for more than 18 years. The royal palace built on the flat top of a rock with a terrace, a mirror wall and water gardens is on par with the best in the ancient world, and constitute a magnificent and unique architectural feat of the ancient Sinhalese. Through the Famous Lion gate are the famous Sigiriya frescoes, the earliest surviving pictorial art of Sri Lanka and of the same period as the Ajantha frescoes of India.
Already recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, still there is no designated world authority to bestow the honour upon Sigiriya- Kasyapa's fortified palace and city as a 'world wonder'. However, it would indeed not be an exaggeration to call this architectural marvel the eighth wonder of the world in the island of Sri Lanka..

Things to do in Sri Lanka - Minneriya National Park | Sigiriya Lion Rock
Our first stop during our Sri Lanka Holidays 2017 was at Sigiriya Lion Rock, Minneriya National Park, and Dambulla Cave Temple.
Few of the top places to visit in Sri Lanka for sure. While other places like Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage has elephants i thought Minneriya was the best to watch these gigantic animals in their natural habitat.
I have a travel blog and a 10 Days in Sri Lanka Itinerary as well on – froogalfun.com. Refer to it for lots of travel stories and itinerary. And watch this space for detailed travel vlog from each of the locations we visited while in Sri Lanka. This is a Best of Sri Lanka Post which I wanted to initiate the Sri Lanka travel vlog series with.
