Scenes on the top of the Yapahuwa rock, Sri Lanka.

The distant horizon.


A ruined building. Was it the building which housed the sacred 'Tooth Relic'?

A 'Mal Aasana' - Pedestral for votive offering of flowers to the sacred 'Tooth Relic'?
The top of the 'Yapahuwa' rock had the building to house the Sacred Tooth Relic of the Lord Buddha, a Chaithya and a pond cut in the rock to collect rainwater. The above photos show the remains of them today.
