Pidurangala archaeological
site in Sri Lanka is very close to Sigiriya Rock Fortress and not very popular
place visited. Pidurangala moves beyond the 1 and 2 century BC and used as a
Monastry from at that time to date. But during the King Kasyapa’s time it became
prominent.
In Pidurangala, there are numerous
of archaeologically important places. Such as Ruins of Dagaba, Cave of the
Recumbent Buddha Statue, Ancient Dagaba, Budu Madura etc….
If you are visiting Pidurangala you can climb the mountain
to see the Pidurangala Rock also. The main path
towards to the right hand side of the cave temple leads towards the top of the
Pidurangala Rock. Sometimes there are clear steps on your way but sometimes
not. But it is not difficult to climb the mountain. In the middle of your tour
to the Pidurangala Rock you will reach to a complex of caves. In the main cave
you can see a reclining Buddha statue around 48 feet. This Statue made by
bricks and plastered with clay.
Once you climbed to the
top of the Pidurangala Rock, you get a nice image of Sigiriya Rock with nice
wind.
