YAPAHUWA - SRI LANKA

Yapahuwa is going back to the 13^th Centuries. In 13^th century Yapahuwa was the royal residence in Sri Lanka. Yapahuwa can be reached by A28 Motorable road and its under Kurunegala District, North Central Province of Sri Lanka and nearby Maho city. Ancient castle rises to a height of 90 m above the surrounding grasslands built by King Buwanekabahu the First as the capital of Sri Lanka in 1301. In present as ruins we can get Royal residence, the Temple of Tooth Relic, the battle defenses.  

The Stone stairway originally comprised of three flights of stone stairs, one above the other, however the lower one has disappeared and been replaced by cement steps. The walls on either side of the stairway form pavilions in each of which is a graceful female figure. Above these sculptures are sculptures of stylized goggle-eyed spring and the in balustrades above these, the head of lions have transformed into the Elephants with their trunks extended. Beautiful rock carvings of jubilant musicians, dancers and drummers decorate the last staircase and the porch above them.

Finally at the top of the stairway the pilgrim will reach the impressive and harmoniously conceived doorway that once led into the Temple of the Tooth.
