Step back in time to the 12th century and marvel at the stunning craftsmanship of this ancient pavilion. Built during the reign of King Nissanka Malla, Nissankalatha Mandapaya is renowned for its exquisite lotus-shaped stone pillars, which once supported a wooden roof. Each pillar, intricately carved to resemble a lotus stem ending in a blossoming lotus, showcases the artistic brilliance of ancient Sri Lankan architecture.
This pavilion was more than just a structure; it was a place of spiritual and cultural significance. Imagine monks and scholars gathered here for the recitation of Buddhist scriptures, their voices resonating through the stone columns. The historical aura and serene beauty of Nissankalatha Mandapaya make it a must-see destination for history enthusiasts and adventure seekers alike.
