This book is the result of a humble attempt to give a general introduction to Polonnaru, the capital city of Kali Central Sri Lanka. Polonnaruwa is a late town that marks a very important period in the history of Sri Lanka. It is a symbol that reflects the national and religious identity of the Sinhala-Buddhist, Tamil-Hindu people and it is a place where these two nations shared their joys and sorrows and lived as one family. Today in the ancient capital of Polonnaru you can see the great monuments of the culture and civilization that the people of that time bequeathed to the future generations. |
