Gal Viharaya in Polonnaruwa

The Gal Viharaya is situated in Polonnaruwa in the Uttararama complex. This was mad by King Parakramabahu I. There are four stone statues earved on rock.

The seat of the first statue, in the meditative pose, is adorned with the figures of the lion, thunderbolts and the "Vajra symbol'.

The second statue in the cavern is accompanied by the figures of Brahma and Vishnu. The inscriptions nearby, to Polonnaru Kathikawata, embody the rules laid down for monks.

The renowned archaeologist H.C. Bell believed that the standing statue with its hands placed across the chest shows Ananda Thera during the Buddha's death. Some people believed this to be the Buddha in the second week after enlightenment, when he paid homage to the Bodhi tree under which he attained enlightenment. The statue of the parinibbana of Buddha is 46 feet long. In this statue, the big toe on the left leg is behind the right leg.
