Hydro-static Marvels in Ancient Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 - දැදිගම කොටවෙහෙර

Explore the historical wonders of Dedigama, Sri Lanka, home to Kotavehera and the Suthighara Stupa. Built during King Maha Parakramabahu's reign (1153-1186 AD), the stupa is a testament to the era's architectural brilliance. In 1951, an excavation revealed the Eth Pahana, a bronze artifact inside the stupa's upper relic chamber. More than a lamp, it showcases advanced technological and artistic achievements. Crafted with intricate details, the Eth Pahana features an elephant figure with a unique design for oil flow. Not only a work of art, it demonstrates ancient hydrostatic principles, with micro-scale hydraulic equipment found in the vicinity. Join us in unraveling the cultural heritage of Dedigama, celebrating the architectural marvels and technological ingenuity encapsulated in the Eth Pahana-a timeless masterpiece from the 12th century.
