In line with the outer circle of stone pillars         is a tastefully ornamented screen wall patterned with four petaled flowers. &lt;br /&gt;
The flights of access stairs at the cardinal points are of stone and are         beautifully carved. At the head of each flight is a Buddha statue in stone.         The shrine is lavished with moonstones., guard stones and sculptured writings.&lt;br /&gt;
The shrine, like all dagobas in Sri Lanka, is oriented towards the cardinal         points - north, south, east and west. Four Buddha statues face outwards,         with their backs to the dagaba mound.&lt;br /&gt;

The Thuparama, is a large Buddhist image house.&lt;br /&gt;
Inside the building, in the inner sanctum, is a ruined brick and plaster         pile, that was once a seated image of the Buddha. The original vaulted roof         of the building is still intact. Tropical rains run down the curve of the         roof, and like the gargoyles of medieval Europe, Makara (dragon) spouts drain         the water to the ground.&lt;br /&gt;

The Dipuyyana (Island Garden) is on the promontory by the rest house. When         King Parakramabahu had built his vast lake, he selected this lovely spot         for a royal garden. Later King Nissankamalla liked it so much that he built         his palace and council chambers there.&lt;br /&gt;

It was his reign that is considered the Golden Age of Polonnaruwa, when  trade and agriculture flourished under the patronage of the King, who  was adamant that no drop of water falling from the heavens was to be  wasted, and each be used toward the development of the land; hence,  irrigation systems far superior to those of the Anuradhapura Age were  constructed during Parakramabahu&#39;s reign, systems which to this day  supply the water necessary for paddy cultivation during the scorching  dry season in the east of the country. The greatest of these systems, of  course is the Parakrama Samudraya  or the Sea of Parakrama, a tank so vast that it is often mistaken for  the ocean. It is of such a width that it is impossible to stand upon one  shore and view the other side, and it encircles the main city like a  ribbon, being both a defensive border against intruders and the lifeline  of the people in times of peace. The Kingdom of Polonnaruwa was  completely self-sufficient during King Parakramabahu&#39;s reign.&lt;br /&gt;
However, with the exception of his immediate successor, Nissankamalla  I, all other monarchs of Polonnaruwa, were slightly weak-willed and  rather prone to picking fights within their own court. They also went on  to form more intimiate matrimonial alliances with stronger South Indian Kingdoms, until these matrimonial links superseded the local royal lineage and gave rise to the Kalinga invasion by King Kalinga Magha in 1214 and the eventual passing of power into the hands of a Pandyan King following the Arya Chakrawarthi invasion of Sri Lanka in 1284. The capital was then shifted to Dambadeniya.&lt;br /&gt;
The city Polonnaruwa was also called as &lt;i&gt;Jananathamangalam&lt;/i&gt; during the short Chola reign.&lt;br /&gt;
