Kaludiya Pokuna
Visit the serene Kaludiya Pokuna, or “Black Water Pool,” named for its still, dark waters reflecting the surrounding trees and mountains in deep reverence. This archaeological site showcases the ingenuity of an ancient hydraulic civilization, with an intricate network of artificial moats winding through well-preserved ruins. Around the pond, explore the remnants of an arama, complete with a stupa, an uposathaghara (monastic ritual hall), and a cankamana patha (promenade for walking). Discover ancient residential cells, or parivena and pasada, as well as a janta ghara bathhouse and vacca kuti lavatory, each bearing witness to a time when architectural mastery met spiritual devotion amidst nature’s tranquil beauty.
