Anuradapuraya

Anuradhapura, located in Sri Lanka's North Central Province, is an ancient city and a UNESCO World Heritage site, renowned for its well-preserved ruins of ancient Sri Lankan civilization and its significance as a sacred Buddhist pilgrimage center. The city served as the political and religious capital for 13 centuries, from the 4th century BC to the 11th century AD, before being abandoned after an invasion.

The Mirisaweti Stupa is a memorial building, a stupa, situated in the ancient city of Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka.King Dutugamunu built the Mirisaveti Stupa after defeating King Elara. After placing the Buddha's relics in the sceptre, he had gone to Tissa Wewa for a bath leaving the sceptre. After the bath, he returned to the place where the sceptre was placed, and it is said that it could not be moved. The stupa was built in the place where the sceptre stood.

Parakrama Samudraya



Description of Parakrama Samudraya

Parakrama Samudraya is one of the largest and most famous irrigation reservoirs in the history of Sri Lanka. It is located in the Polonnaruwa area and is considered a remarkable example of ancient Sri Lankan irrigation engineering. Parakrama Samudraya has played a very important role in supplying water for agricultural activities and strengthening the irrigation system.

Although it appears to be a single large lake, it is actually a massive water system created by combining several reservoirs together. Its long embankment, water-control gates, and canal systems demonstrate the advanced engineering knowledge of ancient Sri Lankans. The reservoir has greatly contributed to preventing rainwater from being wasted and ensuring that it is properly used for agricultural lands.

The King Who Built Parakrama Samudraya

Parakrama Samudraya was constructed by the great King Parakramabahu I of the Polonnaruwa Kingdom (1153 – 1186 AD). He is considered one of the most powerful and influential kings in the history of Sri Lanka. One of his main goals was to develop the country’s agriculture, irrigation systems, and economy.

A famous statement attributed to King Parakramabahu is that “not even a single drop of rainwater that falls from the sky should be allowed to flow into the ocean without being used.” Based on this vision, he developed many tanks and canals throughout the country to conserve water. Parakrama Samudraya is regarded as the largest and most remarkable achievement of this effort.

Even today, Parakrama Samudraya is an attractive destination for visitors and tourists. It remains an important historical heritage site that reflects the ancient irrigation culture and engineering skills of Sri Lanka.

Dunhidha is a beautiful waterfall located in Sri Lanka. It is situated about 5 kilometers from the city of Badulla. The height of the waterfall is 210 feet, which is approximately 64 meters. The mist (water vapor) that spreads out at the base of the waterfall is what gives it this name. (In Sinhala, "Dun" means mist or smoke.) The Badulla Oya (river) flowing through the city of Badulla creates this lovely waterfall.To reach the waterfall, one has to walk about 1 kilometer. During this journey, a smaller waterfall can be encountered, which is referred to as "Kuda Dunhidha". At the end of the path, a viewing platform has been constructed for visitors to safely observe the waterfall.
Rawana Falls

Ravana Falls is a popular sightseeing attraction in Uva province of Sri Lanka. It currently ranks as one of the widest falls in the country.
This waterfall measures approximately 25 m (82 ft) in height and cascades from an oval-shaped concave rock outcrop. During the local wet season, the waterfall turns into what is said to resemble an areca flower with withering petals. But this is not the case in the dry season, where the flow of water reduces dramatically. The falls form part of the Ravana Ella Wildlife Sanctuary, and are located 6 km (3.7 mi) away from the local railway station at Ella.

It is now a pilgrimage site, and the site of several religious monuments and abandoned structures.
Bopath Ella Waterfall



The name "Bopath Ella" has been given to the waterfall because of its shape. The water flows through a narrow gap in the rocks and then widens, forming the shape of a leaf of a "Bo" tree which is the Sinhalese name for sacred fig (Ficus religiosa). "Path" means leaves of a tree and "Ella" means waterfall. Virgin forests with a rich biodiversity surround the waterfall.

Bopath Ella is 30 metres (98 ft) high. It is formed from the Kuru Ganga, which is a tributary of the Kalu Ganga.[1] Its mean rate of flow is 6 square metres (65 sq ft) per second, and its catchment area receives an average rainfall of 5,080 millimetres (200in) annually. Water from the falls is used for paddy cultivation. Bopath Ella is also the most comprehensively studied waterfall in the country.

Bopath Ella is a major tourist attraction in Sri Lanka, since it is not far from the capital, Colombo, and is easily accessible. There have been unsuccessful attempts to use the waterfall to generate hydroelectricity. The path to the waterfall is lined with a number of shops and stalls, and it is somewhat polluted because of this commercialization.
