Located here is the famous rock temple dating back to the 1st century BC. The caves of Dambulla sheltered the King Walagamba during his 14 years of exile from Anuradhapura. When he regained the throne he built the most magnificent of rock temples to be found on the island. In the first cave is 47ft long image of Buddha, carved from the rock. Other caves contain statues of Buddha and deities associated with Buddhism. Ceiling frescoes depict great events from the life of Buddha.
Sigiriya Rock Fortress History & Information
The Sigiriya Rock Fortress is situated in the Matale district a short drive from Dambulla. Before Sigiriyi became a kingdom in 477AD, the Sigiriya rock base and surrounding areas with its many caves had been inhabited by Buddhist monks from around the 3rd century BC. It has also been found that these areas had been inhabited by people prior to King Kassapa’s rein. Many caves also have Brahmi inscriptions dating back to the 3rd century BC to the 1st century AD.
Sigiriya as a kingdom was abandoned around 1150AD and was forgotten for the next 7 centuries. King Kashyapa is credited as a ruler with unsurpassed imagination put into reality to create a Sri Lankan style marvel of high caliber and engineering skills that could even challenge the other world structures of that time, which definitely is amazing even in the 21st century with whatever remains as the ruins of Sigiriyia.
