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

Parākramabāhu I (Pali Mahā Parākaramabāhu 1123–1186) was king of the Kingdom of Polonnaruwa from 1153-86. During his reign from the capital city of Polonnaruwa, he unified the three lesser kingdoms of the island, becoming one of the last monarchs in Sri Lankan history to do so. He oversaw the expansion and beautification of his capital, constructed extensive irrigation systems, reorganized the country's army, reformed Buddhist practices, encouraged the arts and undertook military campaigns in South India and Burma. The adage not even a little water that comes from the rain must flow into the ocean without being made useful to man is one of his most famous utterances.

Parākramabāhu spent much of his youth in the courts of his uncles Kitti Sri Megha, Prince of Dakkinadesa, and Sri Vallabha, Prince of Ruhuna respectively, as well as in the court of the King of Rajarata, Gajabahu II. He succeeded his uncle Kitti as king of Dakkhinadesa around 1140 and over the next decade improved both Dakkhinadesa's infrastructure and military. Following a protracted civil war, he secured power over the entire island around 1153 and remained in this position until his death in 1186. During Parākramabāhu's reign, he launched a punitive campaign against the kings of Burma, aided the Pandyan dynasty against the Chola dynasty in southern India and maintained extensive trade relations with China and countries in the Middle East.[2] Within the island, he consecrated religious monuments, built hospitals, social welfare units, canals and large reservoirs, such as the Sea of Parakrama.
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.

Maliga Gala_Dambadeniya (මාලිගා ගල I දඹදෙණිය රාජධානිය )
Indian invasions in the early 13th century briefly dislodged Polonnaruwa as the royal capital and brought the royal palaces to a century-long hiatus in the north-west of the island. Vijayabahu III (1232-36) fought these invaders and retreated to build his palace on the summit of Dambadeniya, which was solidly fortified and secured by a moat, marsh and sturdy ramparts. His son, Parakramabahu II, later became king and ruled until 1270, successfully winning a momentous battle against the Indian King Kalinga who wanted to wrest control of the tooth relic. It was during Parakramabahu’s time that Dambadeniya, 30km south-west of Kurunegala, reached the height of its glory, and where the tooth relic was safeguarded.
Though excavations have not been extensive at Dambadeniya, the visitor can see remains of the palace, the temple of the tooth and six ponds (perhaps bathing pools), and climb the the rock to get excellent views. The Vijayasundaramaya, a restored 18th century temple a little walk from the main palace complex, contains Buddha images and wall paintings.

Lotus Pond in Polonnaruwa, Sri Lanka - නෙළුම් පොකුණ, පොළොන්නරුව
The lotus pond in Polonnaruwa was built in the 12th century by the King Parakramabahu the great.
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.

Somawathiya Chaitya Sanctuary - Buddhist Stupa Tourist Destination in Polonnaruwa Sri Lanka
The Somawathiya Chaitya is a Buddhist Stupa situated in the ancient city of Polonnaruwa, Sri Lanka. Chaitya premises is called the Somawathiya Rajamaha Viharaya.
The Somawathiya Chaitya is located within the Somawathiya National Park on the left bank of the Mahaweli River, and is believed to have been built long before the time of Dutugamunu enshrining the right canine Relic of the tooth of the Buddha. It is attributed to the reign of King Kavan Tissa - Dutugemunu’s father - who ruled Magama. Somawathiya is therefore much older than Ruwanwelisaya, Mirisawetiya Vihara or Jetavanaramaya.
The stupa is named after Princess Somawathi, the sister of King Kavantissa, and the wife of regional ruler Prince Abhaya. The prince built the stupa to enshrine the right tooth relic of the Buddha, obtained from Arahat Mahinda, and named the stupa after the princess. Upon completion of the stupa and other constructions, the prince and princess handed over the temple to Arahat Mahinda and other monks.
