A brief note on Sigiriya
Sigiriya is located in the central province Sri Lanka.π It is a rock fortress, built by king Kashyapa during 5th century. He built his palace on the top of this rock and decorated the inside with colourful frescoes. The name of this place is derived from this structure-Sigiriya , lion Rock.. Sigiriya is a UNESCO listed world heritage site today. It is also considered as 8th world wonder.
πI live in the Matale district. I will mention some of the feature we can see in Sigiriya rock.πππ
- The royal palace on the rock.
- Sigiri womens with images of a lion made of bricks.
- Sigiri Mirrors
- Moats
The fort built by King Kashyapa to see the enemies in the distance. These paintings show the talent of the designers in our country. Those who were fascinated by the paintings wrote many graffiti songs on the mirror wall. The water and pipelines around it amaze even today's engineers. The ruins of the royal palace on top of that can still be seen today.
This place is always full of tourists visiting Sigiriya. A stamp mentioning this Sigiriya which was an ancient heritage of Sri Lanka was also created at that time. It was created in 1938.
