CLOCK TOWER
Ruwanveliseya Dageba, Anuradhapura.
Anuradhapura was the first capital of Sri Lanka. This majestic
dageba 300 ft. in diameter was constructed by King Dutugemunu
(167-137 BC), the first great hero of the Sinhalese. King Dutugemunu
was, however, unable to complete the work on the dageba. Broad
flights of steps are found at the entrance of the sand strewn
courtyard of the dagoba. The retaining wall was covered with figures
of elephants in frontal aspect represented as standing cheek by jowl.
At the four cardinal points of the dageba are four "vahalkadas"
(frontispieces) which have preserved some very old sculptures.
Work on this dageba has been done time and again after the day of
King Dutugemunu. The Mahavansa records that the 3 floral terraces
were encased in stone work in the reign of Lajjitissa (119-109 BC
