The Thivanka Pilimage was built in the 12th century by King Parakramabahu as part of the Jethavanarama Complex. Here you will find three large images of Buddha and hence the name ‘Thivanka’ that literally translates into three curves. The Buddha statue here is 8 meters in height but today the statue is partly destroyed above the head and stands 6.6 meters tall. The insides of the complex are decorated with frescoes that tell us the many Jataka Stories.
