    Good old Days of Mayadunupura

    It is clear, that a city where a "Mahaya" had been born or Won had turned into Mayadunupura. According to Sinhala customs one should hold the titles "Apa" and "Mayaha" to become a King. There's a village close to this city known "Thimibiripola” It may be considered as a place used fro a Maternity Home1 for the royalists or for Mahayas (Dukes). A Mahaya who had born here had given a vast area of land as a present. It was named as Maniyamgama. But, still who received this offer is unknown. Earlier Sri Lanka was divided in to three provinces (Three Sinhala) perhaps the province this particular Mahaya received could be the "Mayarata". The city of Mayadunu belongs to Mayarata. Peeping into the past, one can gather, the names given to identify the rivers in India. Mostly signify the faith in "Jagathmatha" which depicts the Motherliness. Ganga, Yamuna, Achirawathie, Anoma and So on. But in Sri Lanka the rivers were named basically according to their geological features. Nilwala, Mahaveli, Walawe, etc. Except Seetha and Kelani. They bore the names in favour of Indian culture. The reason for this may be the Indian influence, Rawana had brought Seetha by force and had kept hidden somewhere in the mid part of the river Kelani she had been under his custody for twelve long years. Rama came from India to take her back as Rawana's brother Vibheeshana Requested him to do so. Rawana did not agree with him. So failing his attempt Vibheshana helped Rama, and defeated Rawana. Seetha was rescued and handed over to Rama. In addition he got the powers to rule that part of the country too. Seetha who had been under Rawana custody stayed a virgin all through out the 12 years. To mark her virginity, the stream may have named by Seetha. Another stream named "Getahatioya" joined this and both rivers together flows ellipscally through a plan before joining the Kelani River. This plain was known as Seethawaka.

    Worshipping "Jagath matha" in various countries goes back to Mohandajaro Harappan civilization. According to Indian style "Kali birandi" also a Virgin. So, a Kovil had been put up close to Seethawaka River in respect of the Virgins. From the number of Kovils found in this area shows how highly, the inhabitants here, believed in Goddess Paththini. The old Devalas in Madagoda, Amithirigala, Kabulumulla, Navagamuwa are popular even now. From further investigations carried out in this Kingdom there's a rock named Rampathagala in Thimbiripola, about 15 ft in height located on the bank of Seethawaka river. It is believed that somebody would have erected this in memory of Rama's arrival. Rama + Pada + Gala, later turned in to Rampadagala may be the cause. There's a folklore saying that it was the foot print of The Buddha carved here for the sake of a Queen who was expecting a baby. As she finds it difficult to climb the real Sri Pada. But the foot print finds here, is the light foot where as on Sripada (Adam's Peak) you find the left foot print. On the other hand here only two lotuses and four halves are found. in fact, foot print of the Buddha usually decked with unique physical characteristic marks. so anyone can believe the print on Rampathagala is not the foot print of the Buddha.

    have a read i think it has bit info about Rawana. tikak diga wadi wage.........

    Maligawila Sri Ravana statue, “Avalokitheswara”


    avaloka-maligawilla%20new.jpg



    The magnificent stone standing statue located in famous historical place in Sri Lanka called “Maligawilla”. The Statue represent a royal or divine personality with jewelleries and crown but more suits to a great king- a “Sakvithi”* king. There are some special features in this sculpture including a dragon mark in waist chain, a “Buddha’s” picture in the crown symbolises some special personality.
    Our Archaeological approach
    With strong clues and facts we declare that this statue stands for “Sri Ravana” and here it demonstrates one of “Sri Ravana’s” image- “Avalokitheshwara”. Since “Sri Ravana” expecting to become a “Buddha” in future, he is considered as a “Bodhisathva” in Buddhism and “Avalokitheshwara” is the name he has been given when he started devoting for that great purpose.


    clues;
    In his crown, there is a picture of “Lord Buddha”. In our statue sculpturing culture, when a “Buddha’s” image is carved on a crown, the person who is baring that accepted as a “Bodhisathva”. And here also it is shown. And “Maligawilla” this statue is identified as “Avalokitheshwara bodhisathva”.

    “Sri Ravana” was the pioneer to bring dragon “thorana” to temple and dragon concept was closely related with “Sri Ravana”. So in this picture also a dragon symbol can be seen.
