ISURUMUNIYA IN ANURADHAPURA

ISURUMUNIYA IN ANURADHAPURA

The temple was built by King DEVANAMPIYATHISSA who ruled in the ancient Sri Lankan capital of Anuradhapura. After 500 children of high-cast were ordained, Isurumuniya was built for them to reside. King Kashyapa I (473-491 AD) renovated this Vihara and named it as "Boupulvan, Kasubgiri Radmaha Vehera". This name is derived from names of his 2 daughters and his name. There is a Viharaya connected to a cave and above is a cliff. A small stupa is built on it. It can be seen that the constructional work of this stupa belong to the present period. Lower down on both sides of a cleft in a rock that appears to rise out of a pool, have been carved the figures of elephants. On the rock is carved the figure of a horse. The Isurumuniya rock temple houses a famous 5th c.AD Indian style sculpture known as the “Lovers”.  On the slab has been brought from another place and pla

ced it there. A few yards away from this Vihara is the Ranmasu Uyana.
