历史

The rock is the largest of the cluster of outcrops named for animals that ring Kurunegala, and local legend tells of animals turned to stone during a great drought to save the town's water. A temple has long stood on and around the rock, and the prominent hilltop seated Buddha statue was added in modern times as a landmark over the provincial capital.
