Hello, my dear Steemian friends, Recently, I had a chance to travel to Sithulpawwa Raja Maha Viharaya. This historical place is also known as Sithulpawwa Rock Temple. It was also identified as one of the most important Buddhist places of the second century. It is located in the Hambantota District of the Southern Province of Sri Lanka. It also has over 2200 years of history. According to the Mahawansha, this was built by King Kavanthissa.
Recent archaeological excavations have proved that more than 12,000 Arahath abode in this place. The ruins of circular relic houses and simple house-like structures prove to us even today that a large number of monks lived in this place.
As it is located at the end of Yala National Park, you have to travel through big forests to reach the Sithulpawwa Temple. Therefore, it provides you a good opportunity to visit lovely wild animals on the way to the temple, especially in the morning. It is a common sight to see wild boars, deer, and hog deer (Gona Muwa) on the Sithulpawwa premises. In addition, you can see peacocks and monkeys. Even though you can see many wild elephants on both sides of the road, they never harm you if you don’t harm them. Actually, this place is ideal for wildlife photographers, as it is a lovely place with over 2000 wild animals.
When you enter the Sithulpawwa temple, you will be surprised. The rugged rock built around the temple and ancient carvings will surprise you. Even though you leave the Sithulpawwa temple, the beauty of the temple and surroundings will remain in your mind forever.
Therefore, to visit this historical place, people from every side of the world flock to this place. If you had a chance to visit Sri Lanka, don't miss to visit this historical place.
Thank you for reading my post.
Hi @senehasa Aunty,
Thank you very much for contributing to the growth of #steem-atlas, and locating amazing places of Sri Lanka on the map.
Sithulapwuwa is one of the most sacred places in Sri Lanka. And thank you for sharing that.
Anyway, your pin location is not correct. It's a bit above your place. The correct one is what I have shown in the image. Try to find that, the temple is there. If you can't locate it, I will send you the correct code via Telegram.
And the correct tag should be #steem-atlas, you missed 's'.
Thank you!
Best Regards!
I tried to find it, but this is the location I got. It is better if you can send me the link through Telegram. Thanks a lot.
now it's correct, change the tag as well
