The first band from the half lotus is decorated with a procession of swans, followed by a band with an intricate foliage design known as liyavel. The third band has carvings of four animals; elephants, lions, horses, and bulls. These four animals follow each other in a procession symbolizing the four stages in life: growth, energy, power and forbearance. The fourth and outermost band contains a carving of flames, usually interpreted as representing a fire altar.

It was the place where the daily alms were provided for the monks who lived in the monastery. Located close to the Uttara Mula this is considered the main refectory of the Abhayagiri Monastery. This is a square building with 42.7m on one side. Four stages of construction from early as 1st century BC have been found during the excavation of the site. Danasalas were mostly built in the form of a rectangular structure. It consists of a single storied pillared building with a sunken central courtyard, three or more entrances, stone rice troughs and kitchen appurtenances, a drainage system leading the water out of the courtyard and in some examples, an attached scullery. The stone rice trough placed in a corner of the building can be identified as the most notable feature of Danasalas.

One of the focal points of the complex is an ancient stupa, the Abhayagiri Dagaba. Surrounding the humped dagaba, Abhayagiri Vihara was a seat of the Northern Monastery, or Uttara Vihara and the original custodian of the Tooth relic in the island

  • Samadhi Statue, Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka
    The Samadhi Statue is a statue situated at Mahamevnāwa Park in Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka. The Buddha is depicted in the position of the Dhyana Mudra, the posture of meditation associated with his first Enlightenment. Whether the Buddha's Enlightenment was the experience technically called samadhi, or some other phenomenon, may depend upon the philosophical allegiance of the believer. In the Dhyana Mudra the Buddha sits cross-legged with his upturned palms placed one over the other on his lap. This position is universally known throughout the Buddhist world, and this statue is therefore one of the most typical pieces of Buddhist sculpture. It is not to be confused with the very similar "Earth-Touching Mudra," which depicts the simple action the Buddha took to fend off the illusions projected by Mara, who was desperate to prevent the Buddha from realizing that his, Mara's, projections, and with them the entire world, are an illusion. This statue is 8 feet in height and carved from granite.
    10 minutes

During my trip to Anuradhapura, Rajarata Tuk Tuk Tours turned a potential setback into a remarkable experience. After a no-show from a Facebook-booked tuk tuk, I found Rajarata on TripAdvisor. Despite the short notice, they organized a captivating morning tour, showcasing their expertise in the city's history. Their driver was not only punctual and knowledgeable but also went the extra mile to make the tour exceptional. What truly stood out was their exceptional customer service and generosity; they even offered a discount for a future visit. Thanks to Rajarata Tuk Tuk Tours, my Anuradhapura visit became a success, filled with insights and cultural treasures. I enthusiastically recommend them for an enriching and reliable exploration of Sri Lanka's wonders...
