Om Polonnaruwa-distriktet

Polonnaruwa er den næststørste by i den nordlige centrale provins i Sri Lanka. Den gamle by Polonnaruwa er blevet erklæret som et verdensarvssted af UNESCO. Polonnaruwa har en lang historie med erobringer og kampe og udgør med rette det tredje element i den kulturelle trekant. Polonnaruwa, der ligger omkring 140 km nordøst for Kandy, tilbyder timevis af endeløs fornøjelse for historie- og kulturelskere, da der er mange betydningsfulde seværdigheder.

Mange af de fysiske ruiner, der står i dag, tilskrives Kong Parakrama Bahu I, som brugte mange kongelige ressourcer på byplanlægning, herunder parker, bygningsværker, kunstvandingssystemer og så videre. Perioden under hans regeringstid betragtes som en guldalder, hvor kongeriget trivedes og havde fremgang under en visionær hersker. Parakrama Samudra er en gigantisk tank og opkaldt efter dens beskytter. Det populære kongelige palads, audienshallen omgivet af smukt udskårne stenelefanter og badebassinet afspejler datidens overlegne ingeniørmæssige evner.
