My New Favorite City In Sri Lanka - 800 Years Old Ancient City of Polonnaruwa 🇱🇰
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 лют 2025
- I have returned to my beloved island and country for the fourth time with a singular purpose: to attend the grand opening ceremony of our Village Education Center in Polonnaruwa. This series on Sri Lanka will be brief, consisting of only five videos, after which I must depart. During my short visit, I endeavored to capture as much footage as possible to showcase the country's beauty from new locations in the central region. I appreciate your support, and I hope you enjoy the series.

Gal vihara is 900 years old , Buddha stading and resting is called mudra in different poses. King had his workmen build three caves in the rock after finishing the temple: the Vijjadhara Guha ('cave of the spirits of knowledge'), the Nissina Patima Lena ('cave of the sitting image'), and the Nipanna Patima Guha ('cave of the sleeping image').[2] Although they are described as 'caves', only the Vijjadhara Guha is a cave, while the others were image houses similar to the Thivanka and Lankathilaka, with their walls connected to the rock face. These walls, which were evidently decorated with frescoes,[3] have since been destroyed and only their bases now remain
Buddah never visits Srilanka. His footprint, born or tooth not anywhere in Sri lanka, tells the truth and writes the real history of the island
@@rathy_v😂👍if you wish to think it you have all the freedom but don't insult our ancestors they sacrificed alot to give us the heritages !
@akilaj7 5000years old Ealam then lanka history and heritages all belong to hindusiam _ Saivam and Tamil
Our ancestors of Tamil people welcome to sinhala immegatant from odisha and Behar late 4th century AD. THAT WAS THE MISTAKE??
disroying, hiding, and rewritten the original history of our ancestors and greatest hindu Tamil civilization history not going to be long last original history and identity alway there
@@rathy_v feel free to think what you like and believe what makes you happy. That is one thing that buddhism teach you. So just chill 😌✌️

🙏🇱🇰💛❤️💖👍
The chemistry knowledge of that juice owner mam is very appreciative.
Thank you for visiting most archiologic place in Sri Lanka & give us a strength to boost tourism as always you do on behalf of this Island nation 🇱🇰. By the way you met a nice lady who can manage English language well. I'm going to wish you in Buddhist way as " Theruwansarani 🙏☸️"

Love you & salute to your service ♥️👍
What is archeological architectural and historical evedents of the entire island,???
I am a Sri Lankan and my favorite ancient city is Polonnaruwa. I am a television producer by profession. Although I have created programs about Polonnaruwa several times, I watched your presentation with great interest. I really appreciate what you tell the world about Sri Lanka, its people and environment.
Polanarwai history belongs to hindusiam _ saivam and Tamil history. Thampullai Ravanan palace, Polanarwai great RajaRaja Cholan empire buildings temples and irrigation plan and tanks
all heritages belong to hindusiam _ saivam and Tamil become heritage side by UNISCO 1982
@@rathy_vwhat😅..
@@rathy_vyes after the tamils came and pillaged everything for so long they left their marks here.but remember they were invaders and outsiders.Polonnaruwa was inhabited by Sinhala Buddhists before them
@user-sc4ii2tk4y of course, remember Ravanan was a devorty of supperme God lord sive .all over the Ealam illankai in (Tamil), several ruins, and historical evedents still related to the ravanan era, and his history of the island. also remember when ancesters of singhala invaders landed on the island late 4th century AD they were stared to integrated with indigenous Tamils
so you all must be Hindu _saivam Anuradhapuram budda viharai was lord Siva Temple several top up, editing, and hiding there. budda was Hindu buddisham wasn't religion during his times. Who was born in Behar
The island belongs to Tamil. The history belongs to the great Hindu tamil civilizations
@@rathy_v here are the EXTREMELY wrong info in ur comment but i make it right..,
Ravana is a legend..and according to the legend he was born in North india with a brahmin background..
Sinhalese ancestors came here 545BCE..
Sinhalese ancestors intermarriage with indigenous tribal people.. the yakshas and nagas.. both groups were prakrit speakers..
Anuradhapura kingdom stands on the island for well over an 1400 years.. after the south indian invader ellalan killed sinhalese king Asela he made the northern parts a new kingdom called jaffna.. it was easy because in chola invading era lots of tamils settled there in northern parts.. that's the first tamil kingdom in sri lanka with evidence.. Anuradhapura never was tamil.. but when sinhalese migrated to even more down south tamils settled Anuradhapura area.. so, that's how some tamils suggest that those areas were theirs.. bruh..
I mean tamiks can't even understand those ancient inscriptions in that area.. cuz most of those are written in old sinhala.. there are onky two shiva temples which older than 800 years.. those are in polonnaruwa and according to sources they were made by
Cholas..RUWANWALI SEYA,JETHAWANARAMA are great buddhist sites built by sinhalese.. cholas don't even have such great structures in their own home country.. so how do even tamils made those here..? No point.. I mean why u r not buddhist if tamiks then were buddhis..?
What ever you say sinhaa will be the oldest living indo aryan language.. and don't make meaning less dravidianized sinhalese words.. say ANURADHA PURA,DAMBULLA,POLONNARUWA.. there are no any meaningful tamil translation for those names but sinhala does.. cuz they are sinhala.. and tell me why eveyrpart of a tank are well described in Sinhala but not tamil.. ? Cuz its not their work.. at least just search about what u r saying.. I'm almost loosing it looking at your comment..😂 even the name sinhala is older than the name tamil..

You're srilanka digger man and found historical treasure Davud it's so interesting part 🥹 lovely
Welcome back bro, it seems like commenting on a sri Lankan, it's that close you've been to us now
It is so amazing to see your unconditional love to Sri Lanka 🇱🇰
I live in this village, happy to see you here, see how great King parakramabahu and the ancient kingdoms before 800 years ago, see now the situation of this beautiful country due to corrupt politicians who are exploiting the pearl of the Indian Ocean, thank you very much for visiting our country & showing its beauty to the world

polanarwai greatest history and evidence belong to great Cholan empired during his times called jannanatha mangalam, and Ealam then called mummudy chola mandalam
His Admistrative building lord siva temples several irrigation tanks all belong to Cholan,
Thampullai Ravanan era and including sigiriya palace.
@@rathy_vsigiriya was built by King kasyapa and polonnaruwa and anuradhapura was built by other sinhala kings. Tamils have made zero contributions to sri lankan history and even Europeans like portugese and British have more contributions to our history.
Polonnaruwa was declared a world heritage site by UNISCO IN the year 1982
The heritages belong to hindusiam and Saivam and Tamil over 5000years old history belongs to hindusiam _ Saivam and Tamil
Because the greatest Tamil king Cholan reign and his capital was polanarwai, it was called jananathamangalam.illankai called mummudy chola mandalam. There are several architectural historical landmarks around polanarwai related to his reign
@@rathy_vleast delusional tamil
@@rathy_vit belongs to the sinhala civilisation, the very few hindu temples that exist where indeed built by the cholas but almost all the other buildings where built after chola rule under sinhala rulers, Why would cholas build stupas and Buddhist temples filled with lion sculptures that are the symbol for the sinhalese while the tiger is the symbol for chola tamils who also are hindu an not Buddhist? 90% of the buildings where built by us the sinhalese so stop stealing our history.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parakramabahu_I
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissanka_Malla_of_Polonnaruwa
These are the sinhala/Buddhist kings that built almost all of the buildings
Also polonnaruwa was not the capital of the chola empire, it was thanjavur
davud අපි ඔයාට ගොඩාක් ආදරෙයි....❤❤❤🇱🇰🙏🙏
I am Sri Lankan and thanking you all our heart and whishes best of luck ...as you said ...Budu Saranai....my friend ...
One of famous historical place in sri lanka.. Polonnaruwa.. U r the professional you tuber compare with international other you tubers.. With my experience.. I am also sri lankan bt living KSA.. Great job doing dear.. All the best for you success u r work.
In Sri Lanka, Polonnaruwa is a baby compared to Anuradhapura. Anuradhapura is the best historical town in Sri Lanka and much much older with stupendous and gigantic structures.
Both heritages belong to hindusiam _ saivam and Tamil
If you don't know the history, you are illiterate
So that why we have Buddhists ruins there!😄 you are very intelligent!
@akilaj7 Anuradhapuram, polanarwai, and Thampullai all areas full of Hindu _ saivam and Tamil heritages. Have seen the ruins and burned 🔥 there within buddah sitting fake propaganda
Channel 4 karma
@@rathy_v It's funny that refugees are teaching us about about history.
Davud i have never seen such a humble person like you.we always told stop the sweets and you accept it .your parents will always be proud of you thank you❤❤❤
Why this guy recommended an Indonesian dish.Is Sri Lankan food not good enough for tourists? Iam at a loss.
Polonnaruwa was the second capital of Sri Lanka after the destruction of Anuradhapura in 993. It comprises, besides the Brahmanic monuments built by the Cholas, the monumental ruins of the fabulous garden-city created by Parakramabahu I in the 12th century.
There weren't any singhala buddisht history on the island before the late 4th century.
The heritage belongs to the greatest king, Cholan, empired architectural and historical evedents. Lord Siva Temple and his palace administration landmarks and several irrigational projects.
@@rathy_v Singhalese have over 2500 written history and 5000 mythical history. Look at Mahavamsa. Punda people have only 2000 years of history. Now go back to your India. Refugees😂
@@rathy_v*500bc. All ruins in Sri Lanka where built by the sinhalese except for some very small temples that the cholas built. All temples in this video where built by sinhalese kings.
Sri Lankan Sudda...DAVUD❤
Nithin at the restaurant is a wonderful customer service agent.His smile make guests very comfortable .Davud you are a wonderful human being too.
You kind hearted Aserbaijan brother, Davud We all srilankans thanks for your great work, GOD BIESS YOU!
Actually the Lotus Pond is one small one remaing from the massive palace garden of King Parakramabahu’s palace, the pokuna found near the rest house and believed to be that of King Nissanka malla from the House of Kalinga who reigned as King in 1187 to 1196...about 837 years ago
Ohh ??😮actually, all those heritages, temples, and similar administrations empired, building several other heritages all around belongs to great king RajaRaja Cholan .during his reign, Eallam then called mummudy chola mandalam, polanarwai called jananatha mangalam
@@rathy_v Raja Raja cholan invaded Sri Lanka during the period of Polonnaruwa. We have another kingdom which existed more than 1500 years called Anuradhapura. Your great king was looking for a better cave😅
@openworldphotography-oz4hy pancha easwarams and Kathirkamam lord murugan Temple's are from Ravanan Era, there are locate in five tips of the island. Study geology,history, and architectural landmarks on the island.
From Indus Valley, civilization to Kumari kandam belongs to Tamils and Hinduism _ Saivam history.
Our ancestors of Tamil people brought mineted. They were welcoming singhala immigrants from odisha and begar late 4th century AD. Later, they invaded the Tamil land..
Singhala language created the 6th century with the help of pandian Tamil king. no wonder it is only speaking on the island
Singhala means Singa-lion, ala_man, face, lion man, or face . Mahavamsam said singhalese born to a lion 🦁 a woman also Mahavamsam said buddah visited Ilankai / Ealam that was myth .
Spinning over and over manipulating edition by singhala historian.
@@rathy_v I belive you are a minor😂
@@rathy_v Really 😅??? How nice of raja cholan to build the status of lord Buddha even though he was a hindu 😅
Srilankan tourism ambassador thank you❤❤❤
Nithin seems lovely.. May God bless him. Thank you Davud for this video. Loved it!
Well come back 🇱🇰 ❤❤❤
I really recommend you to see awukana buddha statue if you're amazed by those places 🥰
Mr Davud, there is a softness in your face as also the humbleness with which you behave, which endears you wherever you go.
Davud you really enjoy srilanka the restaurant workers are so nice with thier smile.keep exploring the beautiful srilanka everything is posible as you always say ❤❤❤
You are blessed to have the opportunity to see these sacred places Davud. Being a Sri Lankan living overseas, I still haven't been to Pollonnaruwa and wish to go there one day. Thank you so much for your efforts promoting our beautiful country❤❤
Sri Lanka has the tallest ancient brick structure in the world. It is a Buddhist Stupa in Anuradhapura called Jetavanaramaya. Also Sri Lanka has one of the world's oldest continuous historical written records called the Mahavamsha.
Dipavamsam short fall Mahavamsam written only 1000years old semifiction both written in Pali what a lie full fack spinning.
@@rathy_v vaai mudu thamizh punda, Sinhala is from Aryan Prakrit just like Pali , so don't worry about that ... Also THERE IS SEMI FICTION IN EVERY HISTORICAL RECORD ... It is the same in Greek records as well. Real historians know how to see beyond the fiction. There is NO OTHER CONTINOUS HISTORICAL RECORD IN SOUTH ASIA OLDER THAN THE MAHAVAMSHA ... keep crying Punda Thamizh
@@rathy_v😂Ok..
@@wolves2529 ignore the tiger punda called Rathy
@BogalaSawundiris Singhalese history wasn't written even singhala language it was written fercy and pali.
Full lie ,spin, trafficking. According to Mahavamsam, buddah visit to the island myth, singhalese born to lion and a woman, and many more .
Nothing entire island history belongs to hindusiam _ saivam and Tamil
Welcome to sri Lanka,sri Lanka is your country.
Polonnaruwa indeed is a kingdom old nearly 1000 years. Those statues and pond is almost older than 1000 years. That's why they are impressive.Thank you for showing them sir

Wow !Nithin. You are amazing. 🎉❤ what a gentlemen. ❤
1.11.35 - King kaalinga magha burned this area. Still we can see the burned patch on surrounding area - Kalinga Magha or Gangaraja Kalinga Vijayabahu (Tamil: கலிங்க மாகன் / கலிங்க மாகோன் / கங்கராஜ காலிங்க விஜயவாகு மகன், Sinhala: කාලිංග මාඝ) was an invader from the Kingdom of Kalinga who usurped the throne from Parakrama Pandyan II of Polonnaruwa in 1215.[3] A massive migration followed of Sinhalese people to the south and west of Sri Lanka, and into the mountainous interior, as they attempted to escape his power.[4] Magha was the last ruler to have his seat in the traditional northern seat of native power on the island, known as Rajarata; so comprehensive was his destruction of Sinhalese power in the north that all of the successor kingdoms to Rajarata existed primarily in the south of the island.
Oh, Parakramabahu is Pandyan now, is he? That’s news to me. From which history books, please?
That lady who sells orange juice has a good fluency in English. Impressive
This place is truly breathtaking, filled with a rich history of Buddhist statues and beautiful scenery.
You are a true son of mother srilanka 🇱🇰❤, we always love you...
Soo much love nd respect from sri lnka❤❤❤❤
Thanks for the video❤
