• Sigiriya or Sinhagiri is an old stone stronghold situated in the northern Matale District close to the town of Dambulla in the Central Province, Sri Lanka. The name alludes to a site of authentic and archeological centrality that is ruled by a monstrous segment of rock almost 200 meters (660 ft) high. 

• As indicated by the old Sri Lankan account the Culavamsa, this site was chosen by King Kashyapa for his new capital. He assembled his castle on the highest point of this stone and adorned its sides with bright frescoes. On a little level most of the way up the side of this stone he manufactured an entryway as a huge lion. The name of this spot is gotten from this structure Sīnhāgiri, the Lion Rock (a historical underpinnings like Sinhapura, the Sanskrit name of Singapore, the Lion City).

• The capital and the regal royal residence was deserted after the lord's demise. It was utilized as a Buddhist religious community until the fourteenth century. Sigiriya today is an UNESCO recorded World Heritage Site. It is outstanding amongst other saved instances of old urban arranging. 

• Sigiriya opening times are 7:00 am to 5:30 pm and I enthusiastically prescribe you show up sooner than expected as would be prudent and attempt to start moving by 8 or previously. On the off chance that you're visiting in the late spring months, at that point attempt to go there much prior with the goal that the you're not moving in heat.
