Ancient Temple in Sri Lanka

Prehistoric artifacts of the mesolitic prove an early inhabitancy of this site. In the 3rd century BCE this monastery was an important stopover for pilgrims to the Bhodi tree sanctuary in Anuradhapura. Today a lying Buddha a Bodhi treee and a 12m tall Stupa could be visited on large rocks. 400m away a rock with engravings could be found.
