The Thivanka Image House is a significant historical site located in the Polonnaruwa Archaeological Park, Sri Lanka. Constructed in the 12th century, it served as a temple dedicated to Lord Buddha. The structure is notable for its brick construction and the remarkably preserved frescoes adorning its interior walls. The name 'Thivanka' originates from the three curves present in the largest Buddha statue within the house – at the shoulder, hip, and knee. While currently undergoing restoration, the image house offers a glimpse into the artistic and religious practices of the Polonnaruwa era. It is situated towards the northern end of the park and is often less crowded than other major attractions.
It is a great place to stay and gives you much luxury and comfort at a great price. The service is great and the management was very prompt and was very helpful and assisted us with everything. The rooms were big and spacious, well maintained and the views from the window of the city skyline was just stunning. Loved my experience here!
